2  ARIES-AT technical work completed in Oct. 2000 Aim of ARIES-AT research was to “assess impact of advanced technologies as well new physics understanding & modeling capabilities on the performance of advanced tokamak power plants.” Documentation in progress. Final report is to be published in J. of Fusion Eng. & Design. Nine papers, including a plenary presentation at ANS topical meeting. One paper at IAEA Fusion Energy Conference.  ARIES Fusion Neutron Source Study completed and documented (available on ARIES Web site). A compilation and assessment of the engineering and nuclear performance as well as environmental, safety and licensing implications of fusion neutron-source applications such as plutonium disposition and radioactive waste transmutation. Highlights of ARIES Team Activities in FY01

3  Most of the ARIES technical activity is focused on ARIES-IFE which was initiated in parallel to ARIES-AT in July 2000. ARIES-IFE research Goals: Analyze & asses integrated and self-consistent IFE chamber concepts. Understand trade-offs and identify design windows for promising concepts. The research is not aimed at developing a point design. Identify existing data base and extrapolations needed for each promising concept. Identify high-leverage items for R&D.  Small effort in modernizing ARIES MFE systems code is ongoing this year. Highlights of ARIES Team Activities in FY01

4  Assumes current level of funding and ARIES Team resources is divided roughly equally between MFE and IFE studies in 2002.  Completion of ARIES-IFE study.  Initiation of a three-year integrated study of compact stellarators with an emphasis on innovation and evaluation of various compact stellarator configurations. 2002 activity will be limited to an assessment of various compact stellarator concepts. The three-year plan assumes that no IFE study will be carried out in 2003 and is under discussion at present. ARIES Team Activities Plans for FY02*
