Nuclear Fusion
The pursuit of nuclear fusion as an energy source requires a broad knowledge of several disciplines. These include plasma physics, atomic physics, electromagnetics, materials science, computational modeling, superconducting magnet technology, accelerators, lasers, and health physics. Nuclear Fusion distills and combines these disparate subjects to create a concise and coherent foundation to both fusion science and technology. It examines all aspects of physics and technology underlying the major magnetic and inertial confinement approaches to developing nuclear fusion energy. It further chronicles latest developments in the field, and reflects the multi-faceted nature of fusion research, preparing advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics and engineering to launch into successful and diverse fusion-related research. Nuclear Fusion reflects Dr. Morse’s research in both magnetic and inertial confinement fusion, working with the world’s top laboratories, and embodies his extensive thirty-five year career in teaching three courses in fusion plasma physics and fusion technology at University of California, Berkeley.
Final Report of the Committee on a Strategic Plan for U.S. Burning Plasma Research
Fusion offers the prospect of virtually unlimited energy. The United States and many nations around the world have made enormous progress toward achieving fusion energy. With ITER scheduled to go online within a decade and demonstrate controlled fusion ten years later, now is the right time for the United States to develop plans to benefit from its investment in burning plasma research and take steps to develop fusion electricity for the nation's future energy needs. At the request of the Department of Energy, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine organized a committee to develop a strategic plan for U.S. fusion research. The final report's two main recommendations are: (1) The United States should remain an ITER partner as the most cost-effective way to gain experience with a burning plasma at the scale of a power plant. (2) The United States should start a national program of accompanying research and technology leading to the construction of a compact pilot plant that produces electricity from fusion at the lowest possible capital cost.
Annual Report 2018/ Institute for Pulsed Power and Microwave Technology / Institut für Hochleistungsimpuls- und Mikrowellentechnik. (KIT Scientific Reports ; 7758)
Das Institut für Hochleistungsimpuls- und Mikrowellentechnik (IHM) forscht auf den Gebieten der gepulsten Leistung und der Hochleistungsmikrowellentechnologie. Die Anwendungen für Impulsstromtechnologien reichen von der Materialbearbeitung bis zur Bioelektrik. Hochleistungsmikrowellentechnologien konzentrieren sich auf HF-Quellen (Gyrotrons) für die Elektronenzyklotronresonanzheizung von magnetisch eingeschlossenen Plasmen und auf Anwendungen für die Materialbearbeitung bei Mikrowellenfrequenzen. - The Institute for Pulsed Power and Microwave Technology (IHM) is doing research in the areas of pulsed power and high-power microwave technologies. Applications for pulsed power technologies are ranging from materials processing to bioelectrics. High power microwave technologies are focusing on RF sources (gyrotrons) for electron cyclotron resonance heating of magnetically confined plasmas and on applications for materials processing at microwave frequencies.
Automated Mode Recovery and Electronic Stability Control for Wendelstein 7-X Gyrotrons
Magnetic confinement fusion relies on plasma heating and plasma control using gyrotron oscillators providing at megawatt power levels. The operational reliability decreases when operating at the performance limits due to increasing parasitic mode activity. This work demonstrates for the first time the automated, fast recovery of nominal gyrotron operation during a pulse by exploiting the hysteretic gyrotron behaviour after a mode switch being in use at the Wendelstein 7-X ECRH facility.
Helium and Hydrogen Isotope Adsorption and Separation in Metal-Organic Frameworks
The separation of isotopes has always been a challenge because of their identical size, shape and thermodynamic properties. Nowadays, the extraction of deuterium is performed e.g. by the Girdler Sulfid process or cryogenic distillation, which lead to low separation factors (below 2.5) in combination with high energy costs. The standard way to produce helium-3 is to skim it as a byproduct of the radioactive tritium decay. In this thesis, two alternative approaches have been investigated for the separation of light isotopes, Quantum Sieving and Chemical Affinity Sieving . While Quantum Sieving is based on confinement in small pores, Chemical Affinity Sieving relies on strong adsorption sites. ...
