U.S. Designed a New Nuclear Fusion Reactor Model

According to recent reports from the US Daily Science Network, US engineers have designed a new type of nuclear fusion reactor model. When upgraded to the size of a large power plant, the cost is lower than that of a coal-fired power plant that can provide the same power output.

Nuclear fusion will hardly cause environmental problems such as radioactive contamination, and its raw materials can be taken directly from the helium in seawater. The source is almost inexhaustible. It is an ideal energy source, but the current nuclear fusion energy design costs are high. There are no cost advantages compared to systems using fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. However, Thomas Abe, a professor of aerospace studies at the University of Washington, said that the newly designed nuclear reactor is expected to produce economically viable nuclear fusion. can."

The nuclear fusion reactor named “dynomak” was co-developed by Abe and Derek Sutherland, a doctoral student who studied nuclear reactor design at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Based on current technology, they created a magnetic field in a confined space, "trapped" the plasma in the right place, and long enough for nuclear fusion to occur, so that the hot plasma can react and burn. Studies have shown that this reactor itself is very stable, which means it will continue to heat the plasma and maintain the thermonuclear reaction.

Magnetic fields are indispensable for the continued operation of fusion reactors. There are several magnetic field manufacturing methods. The magnetic field in the new design is called "spheromak," and most of its magnetic field is formed by driving the current to form the plasma itself, which reduces the amount of material needed and allows the researcher to compress the size of the reactor.

Other nuclear reactor designs, such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Project currently underway in France, are even larger because ITER relies on superconducting coils that rotate around the outside of the device to provide the same magnetic field. In comparison, the cost of newly designed nuclear reactors is only one-tenth that of ITER, but its production capacity is five times.

Abel research shows that the cost of producing 1 billion watts of electricity from nuclear fusion reactors designed and constructed by them is 2.7 billion U.S. dollars; and the cost of coal plants producing the same electricity is 2.8 billion U.S. dollars. The new design seems to be more economically viable than coal power generation.

At present, the size and power output of the “dynomak” nuclear reactor model is only one-tenth of the final size and output, and there is still much room for improvement. The researchers' tests of the model showed that they can successfully sustain the operation of the plasma, and with the further development of the research and the expansion of the equipment, they can upgrade to higher temperature plasma and get more fusion energy output. .

The research team has applied for a patent on the concept of a nuclear reactor and plans to continue researching and upgrading the model. The U.S. Department of Energy provided funding for the latest research. (Liu Xia)
