Concept makes use of Lorentz forces to drive vortex; control of diffusion processes by vortex isolates zone of fuel from zones of propellant within vortex; primary propellant flows bypass fuel in axial direction, receiving heat by radiant transport; parametric study of fuel containment conditions is presented for simplified two-dimensional model including radiant transport indicating that laminar vortex flow would provide containment of critical mass of fuel; pressure level required to achieve criticality decreases with increasing cavity radius and tends to impose requirement for radii exceeding 1 m.
