Control Method of Plasma Burning in Tokamak Fusion Reactor with Neutron-Free p11B Fuel via Alpha-Proton-Alpha Avalanche Reaction Mechanism

Abstract

This article deals with the problems of neutronic fuels. The characteristic features of plasma burning control in tokamak fusion reactor with neutron-free p11B fuel via alpha-proton-alpha avalanche reaction are analyzed. On the basis of the study the author suggests, a model with no dimensions for plasma ignition, where equations for particle and energy equilibrium are utilized. In this framework p 11B fuel are considered. In fact, this work presents a novel method to control the burning plasma such that we can control the system variations, the rate of fueling and supplementary power. Applying the simulation equations and we calculate quality factor for p11B fuel. The neutronic fuels come with two main drawbacks: (i) they generate neutrons that necessitate protection and can harm and activate the reactor’s structure, (ii) the production of tritium involves added complexity, expense, and the need for radial space for a lithium blanket. It has been demonstrated that the neutron-free p11B reaction is often regarded as a potential remedy for these issues.
