ITER – A Future Energy 2007. 5. 9. Wed. Tc. Jaymar’s class (P/E) By Chris
3
Index IIntroduction WWhat is ITER? HHow to work? AAdvantages & Disadvantages LLatest News
4
Ⅰ. Introduction IITER -F-Future Energy -L-Like a artificial Sun IIdea from <Sharing Science> 10, 2006 (an interview with Norbert Holtkamp, ITER Director-General Kanme Ikeda)
5
Ⅱ. What is ITER ? AAs a fusion future energy IInternational Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor IIter : Latin meaning ‘the way’ IIdea from - at the Geneva Summit, in 1985 OObject ddemonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy for peaceful purposes ddeveloping a viable fusion power reactor
6
Ⅲ. How it works FFusion : Small nuclei can be combined (Deuterium) (neutron) (Tritium)
7
ccf. Fission aa large nucleus is split apart NNeutron + 235U → fission fragment + neutron + E
8
WWhy is fusion better? tthe light nuclei are plentiful and easy to obtain - Deutrium : 0.03g/1L sea water → Same energy for 300L gasoline ( capability for 456km * 6 trip) - Tritium : convert Li ’s nuclei, Li reserves - 15 million years to use CCreate 10 times more energy
9
SSafe and environmentally friendly - product He is not radioactive - no greenhouse gases - low radio toxicity waste product
10
Ⅳ. Problems TTechnology - constructing the device, Tokamak : a machine producing a torodial (doughnut-shaped) magnetic field for confining a plasma. * plasma : the forth state. An ionized gas co- nsisting of positive ions and free electrons in proportions reslting in more or less no overall electric charge, typically at low pressures or at very high temperatures an cutaway image of the ITER fusion divice ▶

Ⅴ. Schedule & Latest News E.U.(built in France), Korea, India, China, Japan, Russia, U.S. Schedule General intent : in 2016, ITER begin operation It takes 25~30 yrs to common use Total budget = about $ 6.5 billion
12
Ⅴ. Schedule & Latest News Comparing : ITER is quite efficient (fusion) ( atomic energy) (LNG) (petroleum) (soft coal)
