Supra thermal ions in burning plasmas physics explained
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 07, 2025 The pursuit of controlled nuclear fusion as a source of abundant clean energy is advancing through inertial confinement fusion (ICF). This method ignites deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel by subjecting it to extreme temperatures and pressures during implosion. In DT fusion, most energy is carried away by neutrons for electricity generation, while alpha particles remain in the fuel, promoting further fusion reactions. When the energy deposited by alpha particles surpasses that produced by the implosion, the pl ... read more |
