The implementation of the ambitious project of building an international thermonuclear experimental reactor, in which Russia is taking the most effective participation. If the experiments of scientists succeeds, the world will practically inexhaustible and, not least, a cheap source of energy. Fusion energy is now called the future of mankind.
approved an updated construction schedule fusion project ITER (ITER, International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). On the ITER Council, which will take place in the spring of 2015, will be presented a new term start of the project, RIA Novosti reported with reference to the deputy director general of the state corporation “Rosatom” Vyacheslav Pershukova.
Earlier, speaking at a press conference in Moscow, reminded Pershukov that, according to previous plans start ITER was planned for 2019, but due to delays in deliveries of equipment there were serious delays in the construction and start-up was delayed to a later date. He emphasized that only two countries party to the ITER project, Russia and China meet their delivery strictly on time. EU, US, Japan, India and South Korea have not been as executive and behind schedule. This year, for the construction of ITER spent about five billion rubles.
«Who is revised schedule. In March-April, the new CEO (ITER Bernard Bigot) will present an updated schedule “- quoted by RIA Pershukova.
Recall that in the beginning of this year, Deputy Director General of the State Corporation” Rosatom “Vyacheslav Pershukov and Deputy Director General of the ITER Organization Paul Thomas opened year of controlled thermonuclear fusion in Russia. In recent years, Russian and foreign scientists have organized a number of important measures relating to controlled thermonuclear fusion. So the state corporation “Rosatom” held a commemorative 25th IAEA Conference on Fusion Energy (St. Petersburg, 13-18 October 2014, noting that the Conference on Fusion Energy, held since 1961, is the oldest and largest international forum IAEA CNF. In mid-December, CEO Osamu ITER Motojima signed two agreements on deliveries to the ITER center: on the blanket module connector and the vertical neutron camera.
Agreement on the establishment of the installation was signed in 2006, and the idea was born in the distant 1985, when the Soviet Union proposed the creation of a new generation tokamak with the countries most advanced in the study of thermonuclear reactions. The EU should contribute to make half of the financing of the ITER project. Russia going to finance a tenth of a project to supply equipment. Construction cost is initially estimated at 5 billion euros , originally scheduled to end in 2016, but gradually estimated cost has doubled, and then moved the start date of experiments in 2020.
ITER – Project International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using commercial fusion reactor and solving physical and technological problems that may be encountered along the way.
Earlier media reports have appeared sensational breakthrough in the practical use of the technology of controlled thermonuclear fusion. How to say the researchers, fusion reactors can be quite compact. This makes them suitable for use on ships, aircraft, small towns and even on space stations.
To the nuclear reaction occurred, the initial atomic nuclei must overcome the so-called “Coulomb barrier” – the power of the electrostatic repulsion between them. To do this, scientists need to heat the plasma to a temperature of 150 million degrees. Naturally, there is a world of materials capable of withstanding such temperatures. So hot plasma in the reactor will keep the magnetic field.
