For more than a decade we have been involved in physics and design analysis of possible nextstep
tokamak options, including first ITER, later FIRE and most recently a tokamak neutron source for a
near-term transmutation reactor for burning the transuranics in spent nuclear fuel. We have also recently
supported the National Transport Code Coordination activity under this grant. In recent years, much of
the effort has been devoted to defining the physics and performance characteristics required of a tokamak
fusion neutron source that could drive a sub-critical reactor for the transmutation of the transuranics in
spent nuclear fuel. This document provides a final report for the activity in each of these areas for the last
grant period.
