Moscow, August 9 -. AIF-Moscow
The deputy director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics for Research Alexander Ivanov told reporters that the physicists were able to achieve sustained plasma heated to a temperature of ten million degrees Celsius , RIA Novosti reported.
fusion energy Research is actively going for over 30 years. ITER could be virtually endless and safe source of energy. The high temperature in the lungs atoms combine heavier, e.g., modified in their hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium, and then in a helium and so on. In the case of nuclear power, which is widely used now, the reverse process – heavy elements decay into lighter, while stressing the large amount of energy
Humanity is known a real fusion reactor -. It is the sun, the center of which the plasma due to gravity becomes solid and is heated to a temperature of 15 million degrees. On Earth, so to achieve a high density is impossible, as, indeed, and temperature. Physicists use the vacuum and plasma retains a strong magnetic field.
As Ivanov said, Russian physicists were able to achieve sustained plasma heating up to ten million degrees, and now scientists are seriously considering options “create fusion system based on an open trap.” Such a reactor could be an alternative to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).
In addition, physicists believe that in future studies will be able to heat the plasma is even stronger, but the minimum temperature required for the creation of the reactor has already been exceeded. In addition, scientists have developed a new method for generating plasma using microwave radiation in a magnetic trap open type, allowing you to control the plasma is better.
«Now there have been very large changes in relation to such systems. In our institute we are considering the possibility to create the next generation of traps, the parameters of which will be significantly increased, “- said the representative of the INP.
