The possibility to minimize in principle the weight overall and output characteristics of D-3He fueled Fusion Reactor (FR) on the base of plasma Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) is analyzed. It is shown, that with the optimistic outlook on an FRC plasma confinement improvement prospects, the FR specific mass of about 5 kg/kW at electric power of Pe≌300 MW can be achieved.
