Energy Balance Within Thermonuclear Reactors

, 2021
Thermonuclear reactors hold a great promise for the future of Humankind. Within Tokamak and Stellarator reactors, plasma is confined by twisted magnetic fields. Reactors which produce fusion energy have existed since Princeton Large Torus Tokamak in 1978, nevertheless in all reactors built up to now, energy loss from plasma vastly exceeded fusion ...

COMPASS Upgrade: a high-field tokamak for ITER- and DEMO-relevant research

Nuclear Fusion
To achieve their goals, future thermonuclear reactors such as ITER and DEMO are expected to operate plasmas with a high magnetic field, triangularity and confinement. To address the corresponding challenges, the concept of the high-field ( $B_{\textrm{T}}

Mitigation of divertor edge localised mode power loading by impurity seeding

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
One of the major challenges for the design of future thermonuclear reactors is the problem of power exhaust—the removal of heat fluxes deposited by plasma particles onto the plasma-facing components (PFCs) of the reactor wall. In order for the reactor to

VACUUM PUMPING FOR CONTROLLED THERMONUCLEAR REACTORS [PDF]

, 1976
Thermonuclear reactors impose unique vacuum pumping problems involving very high pumping speeds, handling of hazardous materials (tritium), extreme cleanliness requirements, and quantitative recovery of pumped materials. Two principal pumping systems are required for a fusion reactor, a main vacuum system for evacuating the torus and a vacuum system ...
