ITER (initially the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, iter meaning "the way" or "the path" in Latin [2] [3] [4]) is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject aimed at creating energy through a fusion process similar to that of the Sun.
Fusion reactors are not subject to catastrophic meltdown. [121] It requires precise and controlled temperature, pressure and magnetic field parameters to produce net energy, and any damage or loss of required control would rapidly quench the reaction. [122] Fusion reactors operate with seconds or even microseconds worth of fuel at any moment.
Prototype for development of Commercial Fusion Reactors 1.5–2 GW Fusion output. [61] K-DEMO (Korean fusion demonstration tokamak reactor) [62] Planned: 2037? National Fusion Research Institute: 6.8 m / 2.1 m: 7 T: 12 MA ? Prototype for the development of commercial fusion reactors with around 2200 MW of fusion power: DEMO (DEMOnstration Power ...
If all goes to plan, Virginia will be the site of the world’s first grid-scale nuclear fusion power plant, able to harness this futuristic clean power and generate electricity from it by the ...
Advances in the potential energy source may not be about electricity, at least at first.
For decades, nuclear fusion was the “flying car” of the physics world—always perpetually 20 years down the road. But in the past few years, things have changed. But in the past few years ...
Nuclear fusion–fission hybrid (hybrid nuclear power) is a proposed means of generating power by use of a combination of nuclear fusion and fission processes. The concept dates to the 1950s, and was briefly advocated by Hans Bethe during the 1970s, but largely remained unexplored until a revival of interest in 2009, due to the delays in the ...
The result was a scientific wonder, a feat that researchers had hoped to create in a laboratory since scientists first started bandying about the idea of using controlled nuclear fusion to produce ...
