Abstract:
This paper presents a subsystem-by-subsystem
description of the Single Pass RF Driver (SPRFD).
The purposes are to show SPRFD’s relationships
to RF driver features assessed from 1976, to
isolate the differences that affect prior conclusions
about workability of RF drivers including
confidence in pellet ignition, and to highlight the
key associated technical issues to help prompt
experts in the various areas to appreciate the
specific challenges and perhaps become interested
in their assessment. For important context and to
show the excellent prospects for the complete HIF
power plant, the pellet and chamber subsystems
are likewise described and assessed...
