Anomalous delayed loss of trapped D-D fusion products in TFTR

Search for Nuclear Products of D + D Nuclear Fusion

Nuclear products which were caused by the D + D nuclear fusion reaction were searched in electrolytic cells and in gas phase of Pd + D systems. Measurements of nuclear products were made for gamma-ray, neutron, tritium and helium. To detect neutron, liquid scintillation and He counters were used. For gamma-ray measurement, a NaI detector was used. For tritium concentration measurement in gas ph...

Fusion Technologies for Tritium - Suppressed D - D Fusion

The proposal for tritium-suppressed D-D fusion and the understanding of the turbulent pinch in magnetically confined plasma are new developments in fusion science that create an alternate and potentially advantageous technology pathway. Tritiumsuppressed D-D fusion eliminates the need to breed fuel from lithium, reduces the damage from 14 MeV neutrons, and allows structural materials now qualif...

Delayed D*: The Proofs

In silico fusion of epsilon and beta toxin genes of Clostridium perfringens types D and B

Fusion protein technology represents the strategy to achieve rapid, efficient, and cost-effective proteinexpression. Epsilon and Beta toxins are the most potent Clostridial toxins and cause disease in animals.This study describes in silico fusion of Clostridium perfringens types D and B epsilon and beta toxin genesthat was used for cloning in E.coli. The etx and cpb genes were...

Energy Gain of Magnetized Cylindrical D-T Targets in Fast Ignition Fusion

In recent years, many different plans have been considered to use the nuclear energy gained from inertial confinement fusion (ICF) as attempts to obtain high energy efficiencies. In conventional ICF methods, a small amount (about mg) of the deuterium–tritium compound is confined in a small spherical chamber of a few millimeters in radius and compressed by laser or heavy ion beams with powers in...
