Near Future

Due to the rapid industrialization and luxurious life style of mankind all of the non renewable sources of energy are going to finish in near future. To address energy crisis problem it is necessary to search or invent long lasting new sources of energy which could run the world for long term. Here, in this article a attempt has been made to discuss a new source of energy called nuclear fusion process. Several methods made to produce energy from nuclear fusion process are tried to discuss here. Fusion power offers the prospect of an almost inexhaustible source of energy for future generations, but it also presents so far insurmountable scientific and engineering challenges. The main hope is centered on tokamak reactors which confine deuterium-tritium plasma magnetically. The Himalayan Physics Year 5, Vol. 5, Kartik 2071 (Nov 2014)Page: 131-136

The Impact

Abstract The JET 2019-2020 scientific and technological programme exploited the results of years of concerted scientific and engineering work, including the ITER-like wall (ILW: Be wall and W divertor) installed in 2010, improved diagnostic capabilities now fully available, a major Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) upgrade providing record power in 2019-2020, and tested the technical & procedural preparation for safe operation with tritium. Research along three complementary axes yielded a wealth of new results. Firstly, the JET plasma programme delivered scenarios suitable for high fusion power and alpha particle physics in the coming D-T campaign (DTE2), with record sustained neutron rates, as well as plasmas for clarifying the impact of isotope mass on plasma core, edge and plasma-wall interactions, and for ITER pre-fusion power operation. The efficacy of the newly installed Shattered Pellet Injector for mitigating disruption forces and runaway electrons was demonstrated. Secondly, research on the consequences of long-term exposure to JET-ILW plasma was completed, with emphasis on wall damage and fuel retention, and with analyses of wall materials and dust particles that will help validate assumptions and codes for design & operation of ITER and DEMO. Thirdly, the nuclear technology programme aiming to deliver maximum technological return from operations in D, T and D-T benefited from the highest D-D neutron yield in years, securing results for validating radiation transport and activation codes, and nuclear data for ITER.

The Creation

The seriousness of the energy problem and the attractiveness of providing mankind, through the use of nuclear fusion, with a potentially inexhaustible and environmentally friendly new fuel, was already obvious in the 1950s. We were aware of the formidable scientific and technological difficulties that lay ahead and that a long-term effort would have to be sustained through all possible fluctuations of an economic and political nature; this is what motivated us to establish a common European Fusion Programme more than 25 years ago. This programme designed, in conformity with reiterated Council decisions, to lead to the joint construction of prototype reactors (provided that they appeared feasible) has absorbed the fusion activities of the member countries and has even attracted two non-member countries to join. The main results obtained in the associated European Laboratories will be briefly reviewed. A full-size test of the efficiency of the programme is the creation of JET. In fulfilment of our task we are now operating JET and preparing the Next Step, NET, two strictly linked activities, with support to both from a number of associated laboratories. For the reasons listed above there is hardly another research area that is more suited than fusion for world-wide international cooperation, and in this respect the EURATOM programme is particularly attractive mainly because of JET. The suitability of such a cooperation could become even more manifest for the Next Step, which is a much more sophisticated and expensive device than JET.
