Rotordynamic Stabilization of Rotors on Electrodynamic Bearings

Feedback stabilization of the resistive shell mode in a tokamak fusion reactor

Stabilization of the ‘‘resistive shell mode’’ is vital to the success of the ‘‘advanced tokamak’’ concept. The most promising reactor relevant approach is to apply external feedback using, for instance, the previously proposed ‘‘fake rotating shell’’ scheme @R. Fitzpatrick and T. H. Jensen, Phys. Plasmas 3, 2641 ~1996!#. This scheme, like other simple feedback schemes, only works if the feedbac...

The First Fusion Reactor: Iter

28 I n practical terms, the project’s goal is to construct and operate a tokamak experiment which can confine a deuterium-tritium plasma in which the α-particle heating dominates all other forms of plasma heating. Formally, the primary mission of the ITER project is to demonstrate sustainment of a DT plasma producing ~500 MW of fusion power for durations of 300 500 s with a ratio of fusion outp...

US advised to stick with troubled fusion reactor ITER.

ITER is an unprecedented collaboration between the European Union, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States. Its ambitious goal is to show that fusing hydrogen nuclei to make helium — the same process that heats up the Sun and powers hydrogen bombs — is a technologically feasible way to produce electricity. The experiment is under construction at a site in St-Paul-lez-Dura...

Conferences and Symposia Fusion Reactor Design Iv

The International Atomic Energy Agency convened, in the framework of its Fusion Technology and Engineering Programme, the 4th Technical Committee and Workshop on Fusion Reactor Design and Technology at Yalta, USSR, from 26 May — 6 June 1986. This report contains all summaries of sessions that were organized during the workshop. The papers presented at the meeting are being published by the Agen...
