... Considered in detail is the design of "standard" Yin-Yang fusion power reactors with classical and enhanced confinement. It is shown that to be economically competitive with estimates for other future energy sources, mirror reactors require a considerable increase in Q, or major design simplifications, or preferably both.

... A brief analysis of the problems for the Demonstration Power Reactors is also given. After an introduction to the mechanisms of radiation damage, the report concludes that there are no major neutron damage problems in the near term reactors.
