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.
