Conceptual Design of Negative-Ion-Based 500 KeV, 20 MW Neutral Beam Injector

摘要

The conceptual design of the source plasma generator and the accelerating system is presented. Three candidate systems are then examined, each with a different neutralizing cell. The system having a very long neutralizer was judged to be the most suitable to the reactor considered. It was designed in detail. The long neutralizer (30 m) has many advantages: (1) the ion source can be located far from the reactor, permitting a narrow injection tube and tangential injection angle; (2) neutron shielding is easy because the solid angle of the beam line is very small; (3) complex components are removed from the vicinity of the reactor.
