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 ...
The goal of thermonuclear fusion research is to provide power plants, that will be able to produce one gigawatt of electricity. Among the different ways to achieve fusion, the tokamak, based on magnetic confinement, is the most promising one. A gas is heat ...
This paper aims to develop a novel methodological approach to evaluation of long-term large-scale research, development, demonstration and deployment (RDDD) programs in energy sector. Following the postulates of “new” endogenous growth theory we propose to ...
Irradiation-induced hardening and loss of ductility of ferritic/martensitic materials envisaged for future fusion reactor is still difficult to understand. In particular, helium (He), produced by transmutation by the fusion neutrons of 14 MeV, is known to ...
One of the most severe problems for fusion reactors is the power load on the plasma facing components. The challenge is to develop operation scenarios, which combine sufficient energy confinement with benign heat loads to the plasma facing components. The ...
We consider the problem of distributed detection, where a set of nodes are required to decide between two hypotheses based on their measurements. In diffusion implementations, nodes communicate with their neighbors and no fusion center is needed. In previo ...
Breeding blankets are the most important components in DEMO. The DEMO blanket has to withstand high neutron flux typically 15-30 dpa/year under continuous operation. Therefore integrated and effective development of blanket structural materials and breedin ...
[...] The goal of this master project was to optimize the fusion pulse parameters in order to get a gentle and reproducible fusion. The experiments showed low fusion reproducibility and five different cell behaviours given the same electrical field was app ...
In fusion power reactors, the plasma facing and breeding-blanket components will suffer intense irradiation by 14MeV neutrons. These high-energy fusion neutrons will produce atomic displacement cascades and nuclear transmutation reactions inside the irradi ...
Small specimen test technology (SSTT) has long been an integral part of fusion materials development. Past work has led to an array of techniques that not only have provided a means of efficiently using available irradiation volumes but have also led to im ...
