Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.

The analysis of possibilities to obtain high efficiency energy production in D-3He fusion plasma is carried out. Ranges of parameters (temperature, beta, magnetic field, helium-3 value) are studied from viewpoint of the efficiency of D-3He, and related fusion fuel cycles. Production of 3He in the branch of D-D reaction for D-3He cycle is considered, and corresponding catalyzed D-D cycles are studied. Estimations of required parameters of cylindrical magnetic reactor based on field reversed configuration (FRC) are presented for D-3He and catalyzed D-D cycles, and compared with the requirements for D-T fuel.
