Prototype for development of Commercial Fusion Reactors 1.5–2 GW Fusion output. [61] K-DEMO (Korean fusion demonstration tokamak reactor) [62] Planned: 2037? National Fusion Research Institute: 6.8 m / 2.1 m: 7 T: 12 MA ? Prototype for the development of commercial fusion reactors with around 2200 MW of fusion power: DEMO (DEMOnstration Power ...
Fusion power is a proposed form of electricity generation by using heat from nuclear fusion reactions. Learn how fusion works, what are the advantages and disadvantages of fusion reactors, and what are the current research efforts and challenges in this field.
ITER (initially the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, iter meaning "the way" or "the path" in Latin [2] [3] [4]) is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject aimed at creating energy through a fusion process similar to that of the Sun.
Nuclear fusion–fission hybrid (hybrid nuclear power) is a proposed means of generating power by use of a combination of nuclear fusion and fission processes. The concept dates to the 1950s, and was briefly advocated by Hans Bethe during the 1970s, but largely remained unexplored until a revival of interest in 2009, due to the delays in the ...
A tokamak is a device that uses magnetic fields to confine plasma in a torus shape for controlled thermonuclear fusion. Learn about the origins, development, and challenges of this technology, as well as the international effort to build the ITER reactor.
The ARC fusion reactor (affordable, robust, compact) is a design for a compact fusion reactor developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC). ARC aims to achieve an engineering breakeven of three (to produce three times the electricity required to operate the machine).
Industry was there in support of ion generation for SPRFD. The Fusion Power Corporation SPRFD patent is granted in Russia. 2013. China's EAST tokamak test reactor achieves a record confinement time of 30 seconds for plasma in the high-confinement mode (H-mode), thanks to improvements in heat dispersal from tokamak walls. This is an improvement ...
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is a fusion energy process that initiates nuclear fusion reactions by compressing and heating targets filled with fuel. The targets are small pellets, typically containing deuterium ( 2 H) and tritium ( 3 H).
