Abstract

A conceptual design for a magnetic intervention system is presented in support of a 2 GW IFE direct drive fusion power reactor. The system is designed employing a cusp field to deflect ions generated by an IFE implosion away from the first wall of the reactor core and into specifically designed ion dumps. The magnetic coil system will employ liquid helium cooled 5083 Aluminum alloy casing on a Rutherford NbTi cable. The cables are configured as four double pancakes with a 5083 Aluminum alloy case for structural support. The conceptual design and corresponding preliminary load and field calculations will be presented.
