Inertial Fusion Energy Power Plants as the Possible Sources of 3 He for Quantum Computing Refrigerator Systems

It is shown that an inertial fusion energy power plant, utilizing D-D fusion reactions and ignition of microexplosions by or with the use of microexplosions, can produce during 1 year at least about 6.86 kg of 3He per 1 GW of its fusion power. The minimum requirements of the energetic parameters of the driver, igniting microexplosions in such a power plant, are approximately the same as for indirect ignition or indirect compression, fast ignition of D-T microexplosions with a yield of about 1 GJ. The prices of 3He and electricity, produced by the power plant, can be comparable. The atomic fraction of 3He in the arising mixture of 3He and 4He will be at least about 0.167.
