  • Abstract
    A scoping study of a commercial D-3He tokamak reactor Apollo, is being discussed. The reactor is currently designed for operation in the first stability regime and utilizes rectennas for direct conversion of synchrotron radiation to electricity coupled with synchrotron current drive. Very low neutron wall loading (0.1 MW/m2 ) is obtained by suitable choice of the fuel mixture. Physics tradeoffs leading to the chosen design point and critical issues including the removal of fusion-generated ash, the need for high wall reflectivity for synchrotron radiation, and current drive are discussed
