Abstract

Three designs of an EPR are briefly described. The plasma physics involved in the EPR design is discussed. Brief discussions on the following topics are included: (1) MHD equilibrium, (2) impurity control, (3) transport scaling, (4) burn cycle dynamics, (5) first wall system, (6) blanket/shield systems, (7) plasma heating, (8) toroidal field coils, (9) poloidal field coils, (10) energy storage and transfer, (11) tritium fuel cycle, (12) radiation damage, and (13) costs.
