The Key Impacts Of Pulsed Operation On The Engineering Of DEMO
This report summarises the first year of results of analyses and literature reviews undertaken by a team new to fusion reactor studies, guided by existing Culham experts in DEMO and CTF studies via regular progress meetings. The principal aim of the study as a whole was to move towards quantifying the impact on the costs of DEMO if it were designed to operate as a pulsed tokamak, rather than steady state.
