Parametric Studies for the Fusion Engineering Device Fusion Reactors

Parametric studies were conducted using the Fusion Engineering Design Center (FEDC) systems code to investigate the cost, performance, and engineering sensitivity of variations within the fusion engineering device (FED) design space. Candidate FED missions and the associated fusion devices required to achieve the missions are compared. A brief description of the FEDC systems code and the results of the parametric studies that helped to define the FED baseline design are presented.
