Fusion-Fission Research Facility (FFRF) as a Practical Step Toward Hybrids
Authors: L. Zakharov, J. Li and Y. Wu
Abstract:
The project of ASIPP (with PPPL participation), called FFRF, (R/a=4/1 m/m, Ipl=5 MA, Btor=4-6
T, PDT=50-100 MW, Pfission=80-4000 MW, 1 m thick blanket) is outlined. FFRF stands for the Fusion-Fission
Research Facility with a unique fusion mission and a pioneering mission of merging fusion and fission for accumulation
of design, experimental, and operational data for future hybrid applications. The design of FFRF will use as much
as possible the EAST and ITER design experience. On the other hand, FFRF strongly relies on new, Lithium Wall
Fusion plasma regimes, the development of which has already started in the US and China.
