Subsystem Tabulation of the Single Pass RF Driver

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...
