Shielding structures in plasma environment

A plasma confinement system includes an enclosure, one or more internal magnetic coils suspended within the enclosure in a plasma region, and one or more supports configured to support the one or more internal magnetic coils suspended within the enclosure. Each support of the one or more supports includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end is coupled to an interior portion of the enclosure and the second end is coupled to a component disposed within the plasma region. Each support further includes electrical conducting material disposed between the first end and the second end. The electrical conducting material is configured to, when supplied with one or more electrical currents, generate a magnetic field having a magnetic field gradient that varies along the support from the first end to the second end.

The fusion reactor of the invention comprises a plurality of elongated triangular electrodes aligned in a cylindrical shape to form an axially symmetric containment geometry. The electrodes are separated by means of electrical insulator preferably pure swept Quartz (SiO2). The Triangular electrodes, are made out of very high electro conductive, high strength, heat resistant, radiation resistant and neutrons moderating material such as thorium carbide, uranium carbide or silicon carbide or the like which is preferably made by ceramic powder metallurgy process. Each electrode includes a cooling structure or flow channel formed in the internal structure allowing for a cooling fluid for extracting heat caused by plasma and nuclear reactions. The acceleration channels electrodes of the fusion reactor are of triangular shape and are protected with a continuously changing protective film or layer of high electro-conductive fissile or fertile material such as thorium carbide or uranium carbide. Lithium may be added for the reactor to breed its own Tritium.
