1. Short introduction to fusion energy and ITER Søren Bang Korsholm Senior Scientist, Industrial Liaison officer 13.01.2011

2. Potential of fusion  250 kg of deuterium and tritium = 2.700.000.000 kg coal  Abundant and easily assessable resources  No CO 2 release  Inherently safe  No long-lived radioactive waste

3. How do we achieve fusion energy?  Heat the fuel to 200 million degrees C (15 times the temperature of the core of the Sun)  Keep the fuel floating in a strong magnetic field (5-10 Tesla) in a vacuum chamber of 1000 m 3  It can be done! – It has been done

4. Fusion energy in Hollywood Doctor Octopus in Spiderman 2

5. Fusion energy in science – JET, Oxford

6. Remote handling is required

7. ITER – the next step  EU is the host – deliver 45 %  7 partners: EU, India, Japan, China, Korea, Russia and USA  ~15 billion Euros  ~10 years  First contracts in 2008  Ready in 2019
