The prior design of a GDT-based fusion neutron source was optimized based on a refreshed understanding of GDT operation.

Preliminary analyses show that a fusion neutron source based on the GDT concept is suitable for plasma-material interaction research, fusion material and subcomponent testing, and capable of driving a proof-of-principle fusion fission hybrid experimental facility.展开更多
