Suggested report is dedicated to the assessment of capabilities of fusion neutron sources (FNSs) predominantly designed for using within subcritical hybrids for nuclear technology applications and based either on gas-dynamic trap (GDT) [1] or on the concept of gas-dynamic multiple-mirror trap (GDMT) [2]. The former of the mentioned mirror machines is an experimental facility under operation in...

Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) is very attractive as a kind of fusion neutron source for material test and driving transmutation reactor due to its linear and compact structure, easiness of construction and maintenance, relatively low cost and tritium consumption. These years, two type of conceptual designs of GDT-based neuron source, named FDS-GDT, have been designed by extrapolating from GDT...

Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in worldwide collaboration develops a project of a 14 MeV neutron source for fusion material studies and other applications [1,2]. The projected neutron source of plasma type is based on the gas dynamic trap (GDT), which is a special magnetic mirror system for plasma confinement [3]. Essential progress in plasma parameters was performed in recent experiments...

Thorium-uranium power industry has a number of advantages over uranium-plutonium one and a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor with thorium fuel is very attractive for application in Russian Federation. Fuel assemblies filled by pellets with microencapsulated thorium-uranium kernels should be used in such reactors. In open fuel cycle the operation time of such reactor will be up to 10 years....
