The intrinsic potential of a Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) for high-
Based on a reference parameter set developed within the international reactor study RUBY [1], the advantages and disadvantages of FRCs are discussed. A steady-state version of an FRC is considered to be more attractive than its pulsed counterpart. Frequent start-up to high temperatures would be particularly detrimental for D-3He with its higher operational requirements (e.g. Ti, n
