متن کاملFusion 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...
متن کاملHelium Catalyzed D-D Fusion in a Levitated Dipole
Fusion research has focused on the goal of a fusion power source that utilizes deuterium and tritium (D-T) because the reaction rate is relatively large. Fusion reactors based on the deuterium-deuterium (D-D) reaction however, might be superior to D-T based reactors in so far as they minimize the power produced in neutrons and do not requires the breeding of tritium. We explore an alternative D...
متن کاملNew Technique for In-Situ Tritium Measurement in Future Fusion Reactors
To establish a new technique for in-situ measurements of high-level tritium, applicability of the new measuring technique that is based on utilization of X-rays induced by β-rays from tritium was examined for three physical states of tritium such as gaseous tritium, aqueous tritium, and solid tritium retained on the surface and/or in bulk of the tritium-exposed materials in fusion reactors. It ...
متن کاملBreeding blanket concepts for fusion and materials requirements
This paper summarizes the design and performances of recent breeding blanket concepts and identifies the key material issues associated with them. An assessment of different classes of concepts is carried out by balancing out the potential performance of the concepts with the risk associated with the required material development. Finally, an example strategy for blanket development is discusse...
