  2. Direct Fusion Drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Fusion_Drive

    Approximately 35% of the fusion power goes to thrust, 30% to electric power, 25% lost to heat, and 10% is recirculated for the RF heating. [ 4 ] The company's modeling shows that this technology could propel a spacecraft with a mass of about 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) to Pluto in four years, [ 8 ] enabling deep space missions. [ 13 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak_Fusion_Test_Reactor

    The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) was an experimental tokamak built at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) circa 1980 and entering service in 1982. TFTR was designed with the explicit goal of reaching scientific breakeven, the point where the heat being released from the fusion reactions in the plasma is equal or greater than the heating being supplied to the plasma by external ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_refuelling

    In nuclear power technology, online refuelling is a technique for changing the fuel of a nuclear reactor while the reactor is critical. This allows the reactor to continue to generate electricity during routine refuelling, and therefore improve the availability and profitability of the plant.

    In April 1986, two special tests were performed on the EBR-II, in which the main primary cooling pumps were shut off with the reactor at full power (62.5 megawatts, thermal). By not allowing the normal shutdown systems to interfere, the reactor power dropped to near zero within about 300 seconds. No damage to the fuel or the reactor resulted.
