Abstract
931,076. Thermonuclear apparatus. UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION. July 10, 1957, No. 21825/57. Class 39 (4). A thermonuclear reactor comprises means for establishing an axially symmetric magnetic field having intensified reflector field regions in an evacuated space thereby defining a plasma containment zone, and means for introducing and trapping energetic fuel ions in the zone. In Fig. 21 a cylindrical container 41 is connected at one end to a vacuum pump and cold trap 43 and is surrounded by a solenoid 44 and by mirror coils 48 and 49. Ion sources 61 inject fuel ions into the container, the central field produced by solenoid 44 is intensified, and the magnetic mirrors are moved from the ends of the container towards the centre to compress the fuel axially; energy may be abstracted from the plasma by allowing it to expand and push the coils back to the ends of the container. The volumes indicated at 62 and 63 may be filled with material for utilizing neutron emission from the reaction space; this material may be lithium, for producing tritium, or a radiation adsorption material or a fissile material. The apparatus shown in Fig. 22 comprises three zones bounded by coils 77, 79, 81 and 78. The magnetic fields of coils 79 and 81 are less than those of coils 77 and 78, so that if a reaction is proceeding in zone 71 charged particles will escape preferentially through coil 79, rather than through coil 77, and will accumulate in zone 73. Subsequently coil 81 is translated to drive the fuel from zone 73 into a second section zone 72, and so on. Ion sources 61 supply the fuel to zones 71 and 72, and electron or gas sources (not shown) may be provided in zone 73 to neutralize the charge. The reaction zone may have a smaller diameter than the accumulator zone, Figs. 23 and 24 (not shown). A three-zone apparatus may be arranged in the form of an equilateral triangle, Fig. 25 (not shown), with toroidal segments joining the sides of the triangle.
