Analysis of D-³He/Catalyzed D-D Plasma as a Source of Fusion Power

The analysis of possibilities to obtain high efficiency energy production in D-³He fusion plasma is carried out. Ranges of parameters (temperature, beta, magnetic field, helium-3 value) are studied from viewpoint of the efficiency of D-³He, and related fusion fuel cycles. Production of ³He in the branch of D-D reaction for D-³He cycle is considered, and corresponding catalyzed D-D cycles are studied. Estimations of required parameters of cylindrical magnetic reactor based on field reversed configuration (FRC) are presented for D-³He and catalyzed D-D cycles, and compared with the requirements for D-T fuel.
