Fusion reactor Mirrors

Among several conceptual designs of fusion reactors, the machines based on magnetic confinement, such as Tokamak- and mirror-type reactors, employ a...

For 1978 the course was titled Driven magnetic fusion reactors - giving a cloak of responsibility to the consideration of mirrors. For a rousing start we had Dr R F Post on The Philosophy of Fusion Research. Many of the points he raised are quite pertinent to our discussion of unconventionals and alternatives. ... 

Based on the relatively poor pure fusion reactor outlook for long linear devices, U.S. Department of Energy support of such work was virtually eliminated at the end of 1979. Certain elements of the linear program having relevance to other ongoing fusion projects were continued (e.g., multiple mirror confinement studies), while in other instances, a natural transition was made from open linear systems research to closed system (CT) studies.
