Energetic-economic analysis of inertial fusion plants with tritium commercial production

摘要

The realization of nuclear power plants based on fusion principles is expected to be, at the moment, very expensive. As a result the expected cost of electricity (COE) of fusion power plants in much higher than the COE of fission and Fossil power plants. Thus it is necessary to study new solution for fusion power plant designs to reduce the COE. An Interesting solution for the first generation of fusion plants is to produce a surplus of tritium for commercial purposes.
