Lecture

Heating and Burning Plasmas: ITER and Fusion Power Plant

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of heating and burning plasmas, focusing on the ITER project and the route to a fusion power plant. Topics include minimum heating power, ohmic heating, neutral beam injection, and heating by electromagnetic waves. It also discusses the challenges and advantages of different heating methods, such as neutral beam heating, ion cyclotron resonance heating, lower hybrid heating, and electron cyclotron heating. The lecture delves into the design goals of ITER, the concept of a burning plasma, and the importance of tritium in fusion reactors. It concludes with an overview of the DEMO project and the future roadmap towards achieving fusion energy.
