THE TITAN-II REVERSED-FIELD-PINCH FUSION-POWER-CORE DESIGN

TITAN-II is a compact, high-power-density reversed-field pinch fusion power reactor design based on the aqueous lithium solution fusion powe r core concept. The selected breeding and structural materials are LiN O3 and 9-C low activation ferritic steel, respectively. TITAN-II is a viable alternative to the TITAN-I lithium self-cooled design for the r eversed-field pinch reactor to operate at a neutron wall loading of 18 MW/m2. Submerging the complete fusion power core and the primary loop in a large pool of cool water will minimize the probability of radioa ctivity release. Since the protection of the large pool integrity is t he only requirement for the protection of the public, TITAN-II is a le vel 2 of passive safety assurance design.
