Physics analysis of the Apollo D-3He tokamak reactor

Summary form only given. Encouraging experimental results on TEXT motivated a key change in the Apollo concept-utilization of an ergodic magnetic limiter for impurity control instead of a diverter. Parameters for the updated Apollo design were determined, and an analysis of the ergodic magnetic limiter was performed. The Apollo reference case uses direct conversion of synchrotron radiation to electricity by rectifying antennas (rectennas) for its power conversion system. Although Apollo will burn D-³He fuel, a significant amount of unburned tritium will be generated by D+D reactions. The possibility of operating a short, dedicated, T+³He burn phase to eliminate this tritium was examined
