Fusion energy: available for human use a few hundred million years

Xinhua Hefei September 28 (Xinhua Yu Fei Cai Min) the world’s leading level of China’s new generation of “artificial sun” experimental device EAST28 Hefei, Anhui Province for the first time in a successful discharge, which means that human beings could examine the use of the field of nuclear poly - has taken a new step. EAST big science projects, general manager of million-hee said that the future of the steady-state operation of the thermonuclear reactor for commercial poly-running, the energy generated by human beings enough to spend several hundred million years or even billions of years.

energy shortages in today’s common problems faced by countries in the world. Fossil energy sources not only cause a variety of pollution and “greenhouse effect”, but also in danger of depletion. In the long run, nuclear energy will be following the oil, coal and natural gas after the important energy.

million-hee researcher said that nuclear energy can be divided into nuclear fission and fusion energy, the former has been used by humans to be used to generate electricity, while the fission reactor fuel reserves are extremely limited, not only have a strong radiation damage the human body, radioactive nuclear waste treatment has also been a headache problem. In contrast, little fusion of radiation, and nuclear fusion fuel that can be said to be inexhaustible.

He said that nuclear fusion reaction fuel is extracted from seawater of the hydrogen isotope deuterium. It is measured per 1 liter of sea water contains deuterium, if extracted, something completely fusion reaction, energy release equivalent to 300 liters of gasoline when burned, release of energy. On this basis, based on the current world energy consumption level and water stocks, nuclear fusion can be available for human use several hundred million years, or even billions of years.

■ news background

“artificial sun” program

International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program, also known as “artificial sun” program. In 1985, the United States, the Soviet Union heads of state initiatives and International Atomic Energy Agency (the IAEA), under the endorsement of major international scientific and technological cooperation programs ITER (the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) has been established, its goal is to build a self-sustaining combustion (that is, ” ignition “), nuclear fusion experimental reactor to verify the engineering feasibility of fusion reactors.

2003 Nian 2 months, held in St. Petersburg in Russia, “ITER will be the eighth session of the intergovernmental negotiations”, China announced a full independent member of the negotiations to join the program. This means that China has promised to bear the ITER project cost 4.6 billion euros a total of 10%, and enjoy all the intellectual property rights.

2006 Nian 5 Yue 24 in the EU headquarters in Brussels, China, the European Union, the United States and other G-7 representatives initialed a “set up an international joint implementation of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project agreement”, which marks the ITER plan in real terms on entering a formal implementation stage.

ITER plan is a major international scientific and technological cooperation projects. It is the implementation of the outcome will decide whether mankind can quickly and large-scale use of nuclear fusion energy, which could affect humans from the fundamental solution to the process of energy issues, so the significance and impact is substantial.

核聚变能:可供人类使用数1.00亿年

新华社合肥9月28日电(记者蔚飞蔡麋嗯)世界领先的中国新一代“人造太阳”实验装置EAST28合肥,这在一个成功放电,这意味着人类可以利用研究安徽省首次领先水平核聚领域-已采取了新的一步。东大科学工程,百万总经理熙表示,在稳态的商业聚热核反应堆的未来运作状态运行,由人类产生足够花几亿年甚至几十亿年的能量。

由在当今世界各国面临的共同问题的能源短缺问题。矿物能源不仅造成各种污染和“温室效应”,而且在逐渐枯竭的危险。从长远来看,核能将是继石油,煤和天然气之后的重要能源。

万元熙研究员说,核能可分为核裂变和核聚变的能源分歧,前者已经被人类利用用来发电,而裂变反应堆的燃料储备极为有限,不仅拥有强大的辐射损伤人体,放射性核废料的处理也是一个头痛的问题。相反,很少融合辐射和核聚变燃料可以说是取之不尽,用之不竭。

他说,核聚变反应燃料是从海水中氢的同位素氘提取。这是每1升海水里含有氘的测量,如经采掘,一些完全聚变反应,能释放相当于300升汽油燃烧时释放的能量。在此基础上,对当前世界能源消费水平和水股票为基础,核聚变能可供人类使用数亿年,甚至几年或几十亿。

■新闻背景

“人造太阳”计划

国际热核实验反应堆(ITER)的计划,也称为“人造太阳称为”计划。 1985年,美国,苏联元首的倡议和国际原子能机构(原子能机构)在重大的国际科技合作计划ITER计划(国际热核实验反应堆)批准,已经成立,其目标是建立一个可自我维持的燃烧(即“点火”)的核聚变实验反应堆,以验证聚变反应堆的工程可行性。

2003念2个月,在圣彼得堡举行的俄罗斯“ITER计划将是对”政府间谈判第八届会议上,中国宣布了谈判加入该计划的完全独立的成员。这意味着中国承诺承担ITER计划的手段成本四十六万点〇 〇 〇万欧元10%的总,并享受所有的知识产权。

2006念5乐24日在布鲁塞尔,中国,欧盟,美国和八国集团其他欧盟总部,7国代表草签了“成立国际联合实施国际热核实验反应堆(ITER)的项目协议”,这标志着正式进入实施阶段的实质核聚变实验堆计划。

核聚变实验堆计划是一个重大的国际科技合作项目。 It is the implementation of the outcome will decide whether mankind can quickly and large-scale use of nuclear fusion energy, which could affect humans from the fundamental solution to the process of energy issues, so the significance and impact is substantial.06.9.30
