| Abstract: | Options for a spheromak fusion-energy reactor are described and provide examples of the attractive opportunities which this magnetic configuration offers. However, the ability of the spheromak to confine plasma energy has not yet been demonstrated. The physics issues, including confinement in the presence of current drive by a magnetic dynamo driven by helicity injection, are summarized. These are being studied in the Sustained Spheromak Physics Experiment at LLNL. |
