According to a recent study showed that fusion reactions might in decades to become an economically viable electricity generation device, policy makers should start planning, using them as an alternative to conventional nuclear power stations.
Durham University and Economics at Oxford researchers fusion fusion energy research center to review the fusion reactor, and for the first time has made new progress in the field of superconducting technology. They are the establishment, operation and dismantling of nuclear fusion power stations are analyzed, the results showed, compared with traditional fission, fusion-the economic viability of nuclear power even higher.
An earlier study showed that fusion power plants and fission power plants produce electricity cost is about the same, which shows the advantages of using a new superconducting technology. The research results were published in the journal of Fusion Engineering and design. Kenzo iPad Mini
Center for materials physics professor Damian Hampshire at Durham University said: "it is clear that this is an assumption we make, but what I am saying is that, our projections indicate that fusion power will not be much more expensive than fission power. "The results of this research allow infinite energy became possible. In one or two generations ' time, fusion reactor will provide wireless energy features, and does not contribute to global warming is too large or harmful substances.
According to reports, the fusion reactors through the plasma heated to 100 million degrees Celsius, and hydrogen atoms together to release energy for generating electricity. Different fission reactors, fission, primarily through lower temperature environment to split the atom.
Relative to the current fusion reactors nuclear fission reactors have the advantage that they can hardly produce radioactive waste, so they're more safe, high levels of radioactive substance leaks don't occur, such as the Chernobyl disaster and Fukushima Prefecture, and so on.
Not only that, but nuclear fusion reactor in politically safer, because the reactor does not produce nuclear weapons, because it is extracted from the reactor's fuel tritium or extraction of water from the sea, these fuels with regard to security of supply there is no problem.
About 10 years ago, France South has created an international thermonuclear experimental reactor, whose aim is to demonstrate by test fusion reactor of fusion energy science and technology. Damian Hampshire said he hoped that the results of this analysis will help to convince policy makers and the private sector to invest more in fusion energy.
Professor Damian Hampshire added, taking into account the changes in raw materials and foreign exchange rates, a fusion reactor costing is very complex. However, this study allows us to see the feasibility of fusion power, we are headed in the right direction. He tells us: "because of technical limitations, many people do not believe that nuclear fusion power can be achieved. "
