The WISC (University of Wisconsin) fusion power plant analysis code serves as the main tool for the analysis of a conceptual D-3He fusion power plant based on a field-reversed configuration (FRC). Advantages of the cylindrical geometry and high β (plasma pressure/magnetic-field pressure) of a FRC fusion core are evident. Comparison with a D-T reactor indicates that a D-3He FRC power plant would be more attractive.
