This paper studies the extrapolation of ·compact high-field tokamaks technologies to obtain a DHe fusion power reactor, pointing the attention to the safety and environmental aspects. The main characteristics .of a high magnetic field fusion reactor, using DHe fuel cycle, are presented. The neutron induced .radioactivity in the structural components is calculated: radioactive inventories turn out to be very moderate. The machine has a very low environmental impact. A fusion power reactor based on the DHe cycle can be the correct response to the environmental requirements for future nuclear power plants.

Abstract

This paper studies the extrapolation of ·compact high-field tokamaks technologies to obtain a DHe fusion power reactor, pointing the attention to the safety and environmental aspects. The main characteristics .of a high magnetic field fusion reactor, using DHe fuel cycle, are presented. The neutron induced .radioactivity in the structural components is calculated: radioactive inventories turn out to be very moderate. The machine has a very low environmental impact. A fusion power reactor based on the DHe cycle can be the correct response to the environmental requirements for future nuclear power plants.
