  • Preparatory Document
    Joint thematic Workshop of Institut Lasers Plasmas, and LaserLab-Europe NA3 networking activity : Thematic Network on High Energy Lasers Next generation high energy lasers for basic research : Need for versatile high rep rate facilities Bordeaux University, September 3rd, 2010 1. RATIONALE The French government has issued a call for medium-size Research Infrastructures, which may represent a major opportunity to boost High Energy Density research, both at French and European levels. Under the aegis of Institut Lasers Plasmas (France), and LaserLab- Europe 2 , a dedicated workshop should unravel the general needs and scientific cases for a next generation HED laser facility of high repetition rates (one shot per few minutes) but moderate energies, and discuss how such a facility can be coordinated with other HED facilities and programs at French and European levels. 2. SCIENTIFIC CONTEXT The physics of laser-matter interaction in the domain of High Energy Density (HED) matter requires large scale laser facilities with laser pulses of many kilojoules. The technological frontier is now provided by such lasers systems as the National Ignition Facility (NIF), USA, and Laser MegaJoule (LMJ) near Bordeaux, or by Petawatt high energy lasers such as Omega-EP, Rochester University, USA, LFEX, Osaka University, Japan, or PETAL, Bordeaux. However, because of their extremely high operational cost and relatively low number of shots available, smaller sized facilities, so called "intermediate", are absolutely crucial to all scientific and technological developments in the field. The French national taskforce on the development of powerful lasers, ILP/GRALE, has identified four classes of high energy lasers: – Lasers of megajoule level; – Lasers of large but intermediate scale with a pulse energy larger than 10 kJ; – Lasers of kilojoule scale, such as LULI2000; – Sub-kilojoule scale lasers providing a combination of accessibility and flexibility of use.

Given the undeniable climate change caused by global warming, decreasing the carbon footprint by using alternative energy sources became necessary. Thermonuclear fusion energy is one of the strongest candidates when it comes to alternative energy sources since it is safe, has negligible carbon footprint and its yield is incomparable to any other alternative. Credential as fusion performance may be; feasibility and economic attractiveness are something to be considered. The next stage fusion reactors are called DEMOnstration (DEMO) and are being assessed by various sources in terms of performance. In this work, DEMO fusion reactors are to be reviewed and their specifications are to be analyzed in terms of feasibility, while demonstrating how the tritium fueling stage not only presents a challenge for calculating fusion power costs, but also that fusion energy requires further R&D before it can be integrated into the power grid. Keywords: thermonuclear fusion, DEMO, TBR. 1. Introduction thought of as the most promising unexploited energy source [6].

  • Re-Examining the Role of Nuclear Fusion in a Renewables-Based Energy Mix
    Re-examining the Role of Nuclear Fusion in a Renewables-Based Energy Mix T. E. G. Nicholasa,∗, T. P. Davisb, F. Federicia, J. E. Lelandc, B. S. Patela, C. Vincentd, S. H. Warda a York Plasma Institute, Department of Physics, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD, UK b Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PH c Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, L69 3GJ, UK d Centre for Advanced Instrumentation, Department of Physics, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LS, UK Abstract Fusion energy is often regarded as a long-term solution to the world's energy needs. However, even after solving the critical research challenges, engineer- ing and materials science will still impose significant constraints on the char- acteristics of a fusion power plant. Meanwhile, the global energy grid must transition to low-carbon sources by 2050 to prevent the worst effects of climate change. We review three factors affecting fusion's future trajectory: (1) the sig- nificant drop in the price of renewable energy, (2) the intermittency of renewable sources and implications for future energy grids, and (3) the recent proposition of intermediate-level nuclear waste as a product of fusion. Within the scenario assumed by our premises, we find that while there remains a clear motivation to develop fusion power plants, this motivation is likely weakened by the time they become available. We also conclude that most current fusion reactor designs do not take these factors into account and, to increase market penetration, fu- sion research should consider relaxed nuclear waste design criteria, raw material availability constraints and load-following designs with pulsed operation.

  • Fast Track Concept in the European Fusion Programme
    JP0250524 JAERI-Conf 2002-010 IV. FAST TRACK CONCEPT IN THE EUROPEAN FUSION PROGRAMME Prof. Harald Bolt Director of Materials Research Division, Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics Abstract Recently an expert meeting regarding a possible acceleration of the fusion programme with a view to energy production ("fast track") was held on the initiative of the EU Research Council. In the course of the discussions about the fast track programme, it has turned out that successful extraction of reactor grade heat and tritium from the blanket modules is essential in the ITER operation. In parallel with ITER, material development using a high intensity neutron source is essential to establish a database for licensing. The operation of a reactor combining DEMO and PROTO generations into a single step could be around 2030. 1. Introduction A reference roadmap has been discussed which leads from ITER to DEMO and PROTO fusion reactors in EU. Among these discussions, the significant role of fusion reactors as electrical power resources and their timely availability to society has been emphasized. From this view point, it has been proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion energy within 20-30 years, the so called "fast track" programme. This means that demonstration of fusion energy will be in 2030, not in 2050 which was a conventional fusion program so fat. In the line with this scope, the Fast Track Working Group was rganized by the EU Research Council in November 2001, and reported the first assessment of the fast track schedule. In this paper, the main results of the working group are described as well as the materials development program which has to be carried out acc ordingly.

The result is a complete mix of electrons and ions with the sum of all charges being very close to zero as only small charge imbalance is allowed. Thus, the ionised gas remains almost neutral throughout. This constitutes a fourth state of matter called plasma, with a wide range of unique features.
