Summary
The overall objective of the General Atomics (GA) fusion technology development program is the advancement of the knowledge base needed for next-generation fusion experiments, and ultimately for an economical and environmentally attractive fusion energy source. To achieve this objective, the authors carry out fusion systems design studies to evaluate the technologies and materials needed for next-step experiments and power plants, and they conduct research to develop basic and applied knowledge about these materials and technologies. GA`s fusion technology development program derives from, and draws on, the physics and engineering expertise built up by many years of experience in designing, building, and operating plasma physics experiments. The technology development activities take full advantage of the current DIII-D program and facility. The following sections summarize GA`s FY98 work done in the areas of Fusion Power Plan Design Studies (Section 2), Plasma Interactive Materials (Section 3), Radiation Testing of ITER Magnetic Coil (Section 4), RF Technology (Section 5), Advanced Liquid Plasma Facing Surfaces (Section 6), and Advanced Power Extraction Study (Section 7). The work in these areas continues to address many of the issues that must be resolved for the successful construction and operation of next-generation experiments and, ultimately, the development of safe, reliable, economic fusion power plants.
