Deep Dive: The Four-Part Design Series
The MetroVolt design is documented as a four-part technical series — overview, core physics, fuel/magnets/shield, and conversion/plant/economics — companion to the open 81-analysis deposit.
- Part 1
- Overview & integrated design basis
- Part 2
- Core physics (confinement, stability, fast ions)
- Part 3
- Fuel cycle, magnets & shield
- Part 4
- Conversion, plant & economics
The full MetroVolt design is documented as a four-part technical series, each part paired with the relevant analyses in the open 81-analysis deposit:
| Part | Scope |
|---|---|
| Part 1 | Overview and the integrated design basis — the single consistency chain from physics to economics |
| Part 2 | Core physics — confinement, MHD stability, and the fast-ion balance |
| Part 3 | The staged fuel cycle, neutronics, and the 24.6 T magnet and shield system |
| Part 4 | Direct energy conversion, plant power flow, and economics |
The series is written to be checkable against the deposited simulations, with an honest open-item register and a companion-paper concordance. It's the long-form counterpart to this knowledge base — the same design, at full technical depth. See open data & reproducibility.
