The space propulsion system of high performance is required for deep space exploration missions such as Mars and Jupiter exploration. The fusion propulsion system has excellent performance of ultra-high specific impulse, high specific power, and moderate thrust so that it can reflect their advantages in future manned and unmanned deep space exploration. In this paper, preliminary analysis has...

The GDT-FNS medium-power hybrid thorium plant is an innovative nuclear fission-fusion facility constructively consisting of an assembly of hexagonal graphite blocks of a uniform design and a long magnetic trap for plasma confinement, which serves as a source of additional thermonuclear neutrons. The active zone of the analyzed hybrid plant consists of areas with different enrichment, contains...

To study three-dimensional neutron flux and heat generation fields in a reactor facility with a modified axial region operating in a subcritical mode with thermonuclear neutrons generated by an extended plasma neutron source, a computational model has been developed under utilizing a Serpent-Prizma program code.
The studies are conducted for a radially profiled reactor core consisting of...

Results of our studies of the dynamics features of energy release in a hybrid thorium reactor facility with an extended neutron source based on a long magnetic trap are presented in the paper. In the studied configuration of the active zone, a high-temperature plasma column is formed in a pulse-periodic mode, and with certain combinations of the “thermonuclear combustion” pulse duration and...
