The power balance analysis of D-T, D-3He, and catalyzed D-D fusion fuel cycles in a steady state tandem mirror reactor is carried out. Parameters of plasma and confinement system (temperature, beta, magnetic field, electrostatic potential, etc.) are calculated for regimes with plasma amplification factor Q=10.
