ITER will be the first experimental fusion facility, which brings together the key physical, material and technological issues related to development of fusion reactors. The design of ITER is complete and the construction will start soon. This paper discus ...
Low activation ferritic/martensitic steels are good candidates for the future fusion reactors, for, relative to austenitic steels, their lower damage accumulation and moderate swelling under irradiation by the 14 MeV neutrons produced by the fusion reactio ...
Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) is a mature technology that has progressed constantly over a period of forty years, particularly as a tool in magnetic confinement fusion. As with other heating methods, this technique has seen a steady increase ...
Magnetic diagnostics for the new generation fusion reactor “ITER” are required to be extremely reliable since they provide measurements essential for reactor operation and protection, plasma control and for measurement of several parameters fundamental to ...
The need for an intense source of coherent, millimetre-wavelength radiation to heat a fusion plasma and control its instabilities represents a significant challenge in the development of the ITER experimental fusion reactor. This challenge may now have bee ...
The present paper reviews the status of the knowledge on materials for fusion power plants, pointing out that they constitute one of the main key issues on the path to future reactors. Specific issues concerning plasma-facing materials, functional material ...
Here we present the first measurements by collective Thomson scattering of the evolution of fast-ion populations in a magnetically confined fusion plasma. 150 kW and 110 Ghz radiation from a gyrotron were scattered in the TEXTOR tokamak plasma with energet ...
In magnetic confinement devices, the inhomogeneity of the confining magnetic field along a magnetic field line generates the trapping of particles (with low ratio of parallel to perpendicular velocities) within local magnetic wells. One of the consequences ...
In this paper, a scheme based on multiview and Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is introduced. More specifically, a new fusion technique between temporal, homography and Disparity Compensation View Prediction (DCVP) side informations is introduced. For this ...
The ultimate goal of magnetic confinement fusion research is to develop an electricity producing power plant based on thermonuclear fusion reactions. Among the most promising magnetic confinement devices, as leading concepts for future power plants, are to ...
