Method and apparatus for operating a nuclear fusion power plant

摘要

Fusion reactions occur when high-energy particles A and B collide. Due to the very high cross section and the relatively low temperature, the reaction 2D + 3T → 4He (3.517 MeV) + n (14699 MeV) is considered to be the most likely to be realized. The various methods of nuclear fusion are complicated and have not yet been able to demonstrate that continuous power plant operation for power generation by nuclear fusion is possible in the near future. Therefore, a method is proposed in which simplified fusion processes take place. At both ends of a high-vacuum straight fusion track (1) are accelerators (3r), (3l) in which T + ions and electrons are accelerated at one end and D + ions and electrons at the other end in the direction of the fusion path (1). The charged particles coming from the fusion path (1) are decelerated in the accelerators and accelerated again in the direction of the fusion path (1). In this way, the charged particles move back and forth on the fusion path (1). From the beginning, the number of D + and T + ions on the fusion pathway (1) increases until the number of newly injected ions per unit of time is equal to the number of D + and T + ions lost from the lane and due to fusion events. It is advantageous that the majority of the resulting α-particles are trapped on baffles, and a constant energy input takes place to obtain the plasma. A repair or replacement of worn components is straightforward. There is enough space for the installation of several Li-blankets for heat exchange and tritium breeding ...
