International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor

IECEC 96. Proceedings of the 31st Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 2002
The development of fusion energy involves significant technical challenges and risks but the potential benefit is huge. International collaboration, which makes the best use of worldwide expertise and ideas while sharing the cost, is the best way to develop fusion energy.

International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)

Revue Générale Nucléaire, 1989
A 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 ...

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor

2021
The 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 ...

Some notes on thermonuclear reactors

Il Nuovo Cimento, 1961
This 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 ...

Build the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor?

Physics Today, 1996
Controlled 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.

Pinched discharge and thermonuclear reactors

Il Nuovo Cimento, 1957
A 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 ...

Cusp containment and thermonuclear reactors

Nuclear Fusion, 1968
Existing 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.

Thermonuclear Cone Alfvén Instability in Tokamak Reactors

Fusion Technology, 1990
In 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

Diagnostics for Experimental Thermonuclear Fusion Reactors

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 1996
The book Diagnostics for experimental thermonuclear reactors gathers together the papers presented at the Workshop on Diagnostics for ITER organized by the International School of Plasma Physics in Varenna, Italy, in August 1995. The authors had clearly done an enormous amount of work in preparation for the Workshop, and this book will serve as an ...
