The European fusion programme is 'reactor oriented' and it aimed at the successive demonstration of scientific, technological economic feasibility power. Power Plant Conceptual Study (PPCS) has been a study conceptual designs five commercial power plants main emphasis was on system integration. It focused plant models which are illustrative wider spectrum possibilities. They all based tokamak concept they have approximately same net electrical output, 1500 MWe. These span range from...
With the ITER project now well under way, countries engaged in fusion research are planning, with renewed intensity, and major facilities needed to develop science technology for harnessing energy. The Workshop on MFE Roadmapping Era was organized provide a timely forum an international exchange of technical information strategic perspectives how best tackle remaining challenges leading magnetic DEMO, nuclear device or devices level physics integration necessary cover essential elements...
Helium-cooled divertor concepts are considered suitable for use in fusion power plants safety reasons, as they enable the of a coolant compatible with any blanket concept, since water would not be acceptable, e.g. connection ceramic breeder blankets using large amounts beryllium. Moreover, allow high exit temperature increasing efficiency conversion system. Within framework European plant conceptual study, different helium-cooled based on heat transfer mechanisms being investigated at ENEA...
The European Power Plant Conceptual Study (PPCS) reported in the summer of 2004. Several conceptual designs ("Models") for commercial fusion power plants were developed, spanning a range from relatively near term to more substantial extrapolations. parameters Models chosen by systems analysis be economically optimal, given assigned constraints on plasma and technology performance. developed some detail analyses made their safety, environmental impacts economic calculated cost generating...
Abstract The 1st International workshop on Environmental, Safety and Economic Aspects of Fusion Power (ESEFP) was held 13 September 2015 at Jeju Island, South Korea. initiated by the Energy Agency Implementing Agreement a Co-operative Program ESEFP. well attended with about forty participants representing twelve institutions in ten countries. presentations covered safety issues environmental impacts, availability improvement risk control socio-economic aspects fusion power. licensing gaps...
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has been promoting the IEA Environment, Safety and Economic Aspects of Fusion Power program for many years. Among tasks this program, one task in particular deals with radioactive waste management order to analyze issue final destination fusion activated tritiated materials after their use a power reactor. A collaborative study on these aspects carried out recent An optimized strategy is proposed, goals avoiding underground disposal as much possible,...
