Summarized proposal of a Deuterium-Deuterium fusion reactor intended for a large power plant

Authors/Creators

Description

Even if a Deuterium-Deuterium (D-D) fusion reactor would be necessarily much bigger than a Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) reactor due to the much weaker fusion reactivity of the D-D fusion compared to the D-T fusion, a D-D reactor size would remain under an acceptable size. Indeed, a D-D power plant would be necessarily large and powerful, i.e. the net electric power would be preferably above 10 GWe.
A D-D reactor is less complex than a D-T reactor as it is not necessary to obtain Tritium from the reactor itself. The goal of the original article is to create a physical model of the D-D reactor so as to estimate this one without the need of a simulator and finally to estimate the dimensions, power and yield of such D-D reactor for different net electrical powers. It is reminded that the Deuterium is relatively abundant on the sea water, and so it constitutes an almost inexhaustible source of energy.
