Prime candidate alloy for fusion reactor wall material (PCA)

Bio-reactor monitoring with multiway-PCA and Model Based-PCA

Online PCA for Contaminated Data Supplementary Material

Before proving the theoretical results in this paper, we first present following lemmas used in the proof. Lemma 1. There exists a constant c that only depends on µ and d, such that for all γ > 0 and b signals {x i } b i=1 , the following holds with high probability: sup w∈S d

Choice of coils for a fusion reactor.

In a fusion reactor a hot plasma of deuterium and tritium is confined by a strong magnetic field to produce helium ions and release energetic neutrons. The 3D geometry of a stellarator provides configurations for such a device that reduce net toroidal current that might lead to disruptions. We construct smooth coils generating an external magnetic field designed to prevent the plasma from deter...

Alloy Design for a Fusion Power Plant

Fusion power is generated when hot deuterium and tritium nuclei react, producing alpha particles and 14 MeV neutrons. These neutrons escape the reaction plasma and are absorbed by the surrounding material structure of the plant, transferring the heat of the reaction to an external cooling circuit. In such high-energy neutron irradiation environments, extensive atomic displacement damage and tra...

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...
