High Radiation Resistance in the Binary W-Ta System Through Small V Additions: A New Paradigm for Nuclear Fusion Materials. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Refractory high‐entropy alloys exhibit superior radiation tolerance, but face fabrication challenges due to complex compositions. It is demonstrated that reducing the number of alloying elements does not compromise radiation resistance in a novel W‐Ta‐V highly‐concentrated refractory alloy.

Insurance and the public–private management of risk at US commercial nuclear power plants
Risk Management and Insurance Review, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 437-465, Winter 2023., 2023 Abstract This article examines the public–private partnership between the federal government, private insurers, and power companies that enabled the development of commercial nuclear power generation during the 1950s and its evolution to the present day.

Recent Progress in Functional Nanomaterials towards the Storage, Separation, and Removal of Tritium
Advanced Materials, Volume 35, Issue 48, November 28, 2023., 2023 Tritium is a prime fuel to generate fusion power, but its storage and separation in pure form are major challenges in nuclear industries. This review discusses recent progress and main research trends in hydrogen isotope storage and separation while emphasizing tritium using metal hydrides, nanoporous zeolites, and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and 2‐

Dissolved Organic Radiocarbon in the West Indian Ocean
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 19, 16 October 2023., 2023 Abstract We report marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, and DOC Δ14C and δ13C in seawater collected from the West Indian Ocean during the GO‐SHIP I07N cruise in 2018. We find bomb 14C in DOC from the upper 1,000 m of the water column.

Suspending failure: temporalities, ontologies, and gigantism in fusion energy development
Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue S1, Page 114-132, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Tracing the history of terrestrial fusion energy to a giant multinational experimental fusion facility under construction reveals a series of consequential failures, re‐evaluations of once defunct designs, but also persistence. To account for how this vast enterprise, dogged by failure, endures, I suggest that different ontological narratives ...

Cumulative thermonuclear inertial reactor [PDF]
Energy, Sustainability and Society, 2016 In the last 60 years, the scientists spent tens of billion dollars attempting to develop useful thermonuclear energy. But they cannot yet reach a stable thermonuclear reaction. They still are promising publicly, after another 15–20 years, more tens of billions of US dollars to finally design the expensive workable industrial installation.

Physics Problems of Thermonuclear Reactors [PDF]
PHYSICS AND THE ENERGY PROBLEM — 1974: The Proceedings of the American Physical Society Topical Conference on Energy, 1974 A problem common to all controlled fusion reactors is that of the burning deuterium‐tritium fuel under conditions of plasma confinement which approach the ideal limit as nearly as possible. After ignition, the balance between alpha‐particle energy deposition and plasma losses (radiation plus thermal and particle diffusion) determines the stability or ...

The Phenomenon of a Natural Thermonuclear Reactor
Journal of Geoscience and Environment Protection, 2021 The study contains the justification of J.M. Herndon’s thesis about the existence of a thermonuclear reactor in the Earth’s core. A scenario of the formation of a spontaneous nuclear reactor is presented, referring to the universal law of gravity, to the relationship between matter and energy, and to the properties of plasma.

BLANKETS FOR THERMONUCLEAR REACTORS
, 1962 A study of blanket requirements for thermonuclear power reactors is presented and complemented with a short critical review of some blanket systems which have been suggested. An indication is made of some research problems associated with the blanket system presently considered most promising. (auth)

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We introduce a fast and invertible approximation for fusion plasma simulation data represented as 2D planar meshes with connectivities approximating magnetic field lines along the toroidal dimension in deformed 3D toroidal spaces. Scientific variables (e.g., density and temperature) in these fusion data are interpolated following a complex ...
