U.K. vision for fusion
The U.K. government has announced a series of initiatives to progress fusion to commercialization, laid out in a fusion strategy policy paper published March 16. A New Energy Revolution: The UK’s Plan for Delivering Fusion Energy begins to describe how the government’s £2.5 billion (about $3.4 billion) investment in fusion research and development over five years will be allocated.

A transmission-line loop, energy-storage circuits, and load circuits are designed using lumped constant elements L, C, R. A beam-circuit code is presented to simulate operation of the Traveling-Wave Direct Energy Converter, in which electrostatic coupling between the proton beam and circuits is treated by directly solving Poisson's equation. Simulation results display desirable performance characteristics. Traveling wave with a fixed frequency is excited spontaneously without any external power supply. The wave is kept its equilibrium state under loading, and the wave stably responds to load variation.
