The technique for injection an impurity ion-doped CT has been proposed. The TCCT is produced and accelerated by an MCPG with a tracer source injector.

We introduce a method of transmutation of spent radioactive nuclei in a liquid molten salt solution with fusion neutrons through a series of energy enhancements from accelerated deuterons via fusion to fission. This method is a part of the partitioning & transmutation (P&T) approach for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel where P&T enables the reduction of duration and volume of the spent nuclear fuel storage.

The experimental goals of the C-2W program are to demonstrate the ability to heat and maintain a field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma to a total temperature of several keV for a period of 30 ms.

Abstract One of the limiting factors in the lifetime of a field- reversed configuration (FRC) is particle loss.

A magnetized coaxial plasma gun (MCPG) is one of the devices used to generate and accelerate a compact toroid (CT) with a spheromak-like magnetic configuration.

A magnetized coaxial plasma gun (MCPG) is utilized to generate a compact toroid (CT). An MCPG-type CT injector had been developed as a particle refueling system for C-2/C-2U field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas. To inject CTs repetitively for a long-lived plasma, the injector has been upgraded.
