Demonstration of aneutronic p-11B reaction in a magnetic confinement device

August 2024 | K. Ogawa | Nuclear Fusion | Paper

Aneutronic fusion using commonly available fuel such as hydrogen and boron 11 (11B) is one of
the most attractive potential energy sources. On the other hand, it requires 30 times higher
temperature than deuterium–tritium fusion in a thermonuclear fusion reactor condition.

Field reversed configurations (FRC) are characterized by a magnetic field topology, which exhibits the inversion of the external magnetic field through plasma sustained current and the subsequent presence of a null field surface
