ABSTRACT:
A thermonuclear fusion reactor assembly consisting of a plurality of TRISOPS theta pinch units arranged in a parallel configuration inside a common magnetic guide field and provided with a common surrounding FLIBE or other suitable molten metal blanket. The primary magnetic guide field is generated by a superconducting magnet assembly surrounding the container in which the bundle of fusion sticks is mounted. A gas distributing valve mechanism is employed to independently and selectively supply gas and purge same in the respective fusion stick units, and an electrical switching mechanism is employed to similarly independently and selectively energize the fusion stick units in a desired timing pattern.
