Fundamentals of Magnetic Thermonuclear Reactor Design

Fundamentals of Magnetic Thermonuclear Reactor Design is a comprehensive resource on fusion technology and energy systems, written by renowned scientists and engineers from the Russian nuclear industry, where the tokamak originated. This book brings together a wealth of invaluable experience and knowledge on controlled thermonuclear fusion (CTF) facilities with magnetic plasma confinement - from the first semi-commercial tokamak T-3, to the multi-billion international experimental thermonuclear reactor ITER, now in construction in France. The INTOR and ITER projects have made an immense contribution to this body of knowledge in the past few decades and this book focuses on practical engineering aspects and covers the basics of technical physics and electrical engineering, providing an understanding of the key ratios between plasma and technical parameters, design streamlining algorithms and engineering solutions. It also covers structural and functional materials, power engineering design, safety requirements, and environmental and cost considerations. Written by a team of experts who have been involved in the design of thermonuclear reactors and have over 50 years of practical experienceOutlines the most important features of the ITER project in France which is building the largest tokamak, including the design, material selection, safety and economic considerationsIncludes data on how to design magnetic fusion reactors using CAD tools, as well as relevant regulatory documents INDICE: 1.
