Low Power Driving Inertial Fusion Energy Concept

Main stream deuterium-tritium fusion energy schemes are confronted with serious technical challenges such as first wall material, energy extraction, etc., due to the high energy neutron flux. Low power driving inertial fusion energy concept takes full advantage of the energy concentration mechanism of implosion, using large radius, room temperature target and low but high total energy driving power to achieve fusion energy production. The implosion driving medium acts also as the first wall and the energy absorbing blanket. A high speed water jet driving inertial fusion energy concept is discussed.
