Comparative evaluation of solar, fission, fusion, and fossil energy resources, part 3 [PDF]

The role of nuclear fission reactors in becoming an important power source in the world is discussed. The supply of fissile nuclear fuel will be severely depleted by the year 2000. With breeder reactors the world supply of uranium could last thousands of

Sensitivity of seismically cued antineutrino detectors to nuclear explosions

, 2018
We evaluate the sensitivity of large, gadolinium-doped water detectors to antineutrinos released by nuclear fission explosions, using updated signal and background models and taking advantage of the capacity for seismic observations to provide an ...

A Spitzer Model-C Stellarator fusion reactor

AIP Advances
Tokamaks are affected by two serious problems. The first problem is the radiation damage to the internal reactor structures by energetic neutrons carrying 80% of the total fusion energy that are generated by the deuterium–tritium fusion cycle that ...

Effect of helium on micro-fracture strength for multi-ion-irradiated F82H by micro-tensile testing

Nuclear Materials and Energy
Reduced-activation ferritic-martensitic steels (RAFM) are leading candidates for application as blanket structural materials in fusion DEMO reactors. It is especially important to evaluate the effects of 14 MeV neutron irradiation on the properties of ...

Improved Collective Thomson Scattering measurements of fast ions at ASDEX Upgrade

, 2013
Understanding the behaviour of the confined fast ions is important in both current and future fusion experiments. These ions play a key role in heating the plasma and will be crucial for achieving conditions for burning plasma in next-step fusion devices.
