The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
2021The Internal Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is supposed to be the next crucial step on the way (iter) to commercial energy generation by nuclear fusion. It is more a political technological project than a scientific technological one. Born in the twilight years of the Soviet Union, it became caught up in detente politics between East and ...

Problems of a thermonuclear reactor with a rotating plasma [PDF]
Nuclear Fusion, 1980 The authors consider the physical problems involved in the design of a thermonuclear reactor with a rotating plasma. Detailed consideration is given to a version of the reactor in which the plasma is stabilized mainly by radial variation of the rate of rotation of the plasma (electric shear).

Pinched discharge and thermonuclear reactors
Il Nuovo Cimento, 1957A possible analytical approach to the study of one of the instabilities, namely the ''kinking'' of the pinched discharge, is indicated. It is suggested that the perturbation treatment of a toroidal field may prove a useful tool for the theoretical analysis of this instability, which obstructs the exploitation of the pinched discharge as the principle ...

Some notes on thermonuclear reactors
Il Nuovo Cimento, 1961This article is based on the second part of a series of lectures for postgraduate students in this University, and assumes a knowledge of the elementary principles of plasma physics. It is aimed to give both a description of the present achievements in this field and some critical discussion of the principles involved in the various types of machines ...

The potential of driven tokamaks as thermonuclear reactors
Nuclear Fusion, 1975Unignited, and therefore externally driven, tokamak plasmas can be the core for economic tokamak power reactors over a significant range of machine sizes where the plasma amplification factor Q exceeds 15. In such driven systems, high-Z impurity levels from 2 to 4 times that in ignited plasmas can be tolerated.

Cusp containment and thermonuclear reactors
Nuclear Fusion, 1968Existing theories of the cusp containment of quiescent plasma are reviewed. Some technical and economic requirements of any fusion reactor are then summarized and used to deduce the probable dimensions of open-ended high-β reactors. It is shown that such reactors must be long, pulsed, and of very high output power.

International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)
Revue Générale Nucléaire, 1989A new international cooperation for the next step in the tokamak development will start in the spring 1988 by the four partners, EURATOM, Japan, USSR, and USA, under the auspices of the IAEA. The project is referred to as ITER, the acronym for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, and has the goal of producing a conceptual design of the ...

Some engineering problems of thermonuclear reactors [PDF]
Nuclear Fusion, 1967 The features of a hypothetical controlled thermonuclear reactor that today seem most crucial to its performance are considered: the plasma, the vacuum magnetic field, the divertor, the vacuum wall, the energy absorbing blanket and the current-carrying coils. Some of the conditions necessary for a successful reactor are discussed.

Build the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor?
Physics Today, 1996Controlled fusion represents an opportunity to replace fossil fuels and nuclear fission as energy sources. Intensive research aimed at the peaceful utilization of thermonuclear energy, now in its 46th year, has benefited enormously from vigorous international scientific exchange and collaboration. Much has already been accomplished.

Thermonuclear Cone Alfvén Instability in Tokamak Reactors
Fusion Technology, 1990In this paper possible excitation of thermonuclear cone instabilities cause by anisotropy in alpha-particle velocity distribution is considered in tokamak reactor plasmas for frequencies much lower than electron cyclotron frequency. In the ignite tokamak reactor experiment, for example the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), Alfven
