Description
Summary:This report presents a conceptual design of the magnet systems for an advanced tokamak fusion reactor (ARIES-AT). The main focus of the paper is to anticipate and extrapolate the current state-of-the-art in high temperature superconductors and coil design, and apply them to an advanced commercial fusion reactor concept. The current design point is described and supported with a preliminary structural analysis and a discussion of the merits, performance, and economics of high temperature vs. low temperature superconductors in an advanced fusion reactor design.
