Joining of CMCs for thermonuclear fusion applications

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 1996
Abstract Because of their thermomechanical and nuclear peculiarities some ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), i.e. carbon fibre reinforced carbon composites (CFC), carbon, fibre reinforced silicon carbide composites (C f /SiC) and silicon carbide fibre reinforced silicon carbide composites (SiC f /Sic) are candidate materials for high temperature ...

Laser-induced thermonuclear fusion

Physics Today, 1973
Laser-induced fusion has recently joined magnetic-confinement fusion as a prime prospect for generating controlled thermonuclear power. During the past three years, the Atomic Energy Commission has accelerated the national laser-fusion program more than tenfold, to about $30 million annually, and the Soviet Union has a program of comparable size.

Thermonuclear Fusion in a Staged Pinch

1997
Staged pinch implosions provide means to couple energy to a small-diameter fibre on an extremely fast time scale, circumventing the limitations of conventional pinches. In this scheme the generator current initially traverses an intermediate hollow plasma shell which compresses onto the fibre placed coaxially and transfers the current to the fibre with

Condensed hydrogen for thermonuclear fusion

Journal of Applied Physics, 2010
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) power, in either pure fusion or fission-fusion hybrid reactors, is a possible solution for future world’s energy demands. Formation of uniform layers of a condensed hydrogen fuel in ICF targets has been a long standing materials physics challenge. Here, we review the progress in this field.

Tritium Problems in a Thermonuclear Fusion Device

Fusion Technology, 1985
Works under way in CEA Saclay on a fusion reactor tritium system are described. Areas covered are large components for the torus vacuum system, fuel clean-up processes, electrolytic cell, atmosphere clean-up and tritium recovery from solid wastes. All these tasks are covered theoretically and experimentally.

The plasma focus and thermonuclear fusion

Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics, 1976
Present-day notions concerning the effects involved in a plasma focus are reviewed, the efficiency of various energy transmission channels in the device is analyzed, and some ideas relating to the possible extrapolation to larger devices are indicated.

Thermonuclear Reactions and Nuclear Fusion

1979
Power from nuclear fission is now a reality both on land and sea, and in those countries where the coal measures are rapidly being worked out one can envisage their future economy depending on nuclear fuels, especially when oil is regarded as a costly import.

Analytical chemistry in controlled thermonuclear fusion [PDF]

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry Articles, 1995
The analytical problems arising in the fuel cycle of a fusion reactor have to be discussed separately for the various subsystems of such a reactor. Thus, in the case of plasma exhaust purification, concentration assays of the tritiated impurities must be carried out quickly and, whenever possible, under flow conditions.
