Highlights


A coherent QI-HTS stellarator study, showing feasibility for a power plant.

First QI stellarator with reactor-relevant coils and low fast particle losses.

Stellarator reactor setting simulations for wall temperature and divertor heat loads.

Neutronics study showing TBR, shielding, and DPA can be achieved together.

First high-field, modular stellarator support structure design.
I am no physicist but the paper certainly looks like a well worked through scientific item.
