Mainline Fusion Approaches

December 19, 2016September 17, 2014 by

Background In the United States and most countries large government sponsored fusion projects are based on two somewhat opposite scientific approaches. These are: Magnetic Confinement tokomak The tokomak is the most developed magnetic confinement system and is the basis for the design of future fusion reactors using this method. It was invented in the Soviet … Read moreMainline Fusion Approaches

Innovative Confinement Concepts

March 4, 2017September 17, 2014 by

Innovative Confinement Concepts and Alternative Fusion Approaches Between 1996 and 2000, the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC) recommended a vigorous program in Innovative Confinement Concepts to explore several practical alternative paths to the mainline Magnetic Confinement and Inertial Confinement programs. It was never funded. After the U.S. joined the ITER program as a 9% … Read moreInnovative Confinement Concepts

Fusion Fission Hybrid Concept

October 16, 2014September 16, 2014 by

By: Tom Tamarkin Founder Fusion4Freedom & President USCL Corp In anticipation of a possible nuclear renaissance, there has been an enthusiastic renewal of interest in the fusion-fission hybrid concept, driven primarily by some members of the fusion community. A fusion-fission hybrid consists of a neutron-producing fusion core surrounded by a fission blanket. Hybrids are of … Read moreFusion Fission Hybrid Concept

November 17, 2015September 15, 2014 by

By: Tom Tamarkin Founder Fusion4Freedom & President USCL Corp Legend has it that there are more problems in attaining controlled nuclear fusion than scientists anticipated, and that little progress has been made. “Fusion is still fifty years away, and always has been” has become the common refrain of skeptics. But the reason that we do … Read moreFusion Development History, Status & Previous Project Cancellations

Why a Nuclear Reactor Cannot Explode like an Atom Bomb

January 6, 2016September 11, 2014 by

Reactors and Atom Bombs A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb. To understand these differences, it is … Read moreWhy a Nuclear Reactor Cannot Explode like an Atom Bomb
