Abstract
The activities overview of Russian laboratories on Heavy-Ion Fusion is presented. The new data on development of the power plant concept based on direct drive of cylindrical DT target by intense 500Â MeV/u ion beam in fast ignition mode and two sections wetted liquid wall reactor chamber with lithium-lead blanket are presented. A heavy-ion driver system providing consequent compression and ignition of the cylindrical DT target is described. Data on repetitive energy fluxes generated by the 750Â MJ of microfusion explosion are given. The design of the thin liquid wall reactor chamber is specified. The behavior of the liquid film at the first wall and the blanket material under a pulsed energy flux loading is emphasized. The energy conversion thermal scheme and power plant output parameters are presented. The state of the art of the ITEP-TWAC accelerator facility operation and new results of current beam-plasma interaction experiments are discussed. This work has been done under the auspices of the Scientific Council of Russian Academy of Sciences “Analysis of Energy Systems” under the chairmanship of academician V.I. Subbotin.
