This could be the world's first nuclear fusion power station

[@johnh6245]

The physicist in charge of MAST is being ingenuous in stating that the JET experiment produced more energy than was put into it. This ignores the energy used to run the experiment; in the end the machine efficiency was about 1%. Since an electricity producing reactor such as STEP will need an machine efficiency of about 30, an improvement of some 3000 times is needed. No one has outlined how this will be achieved.

I used to work near that power station, passed it 5 days a week.

Sounds more like a money-making scheme for some people churning out promises and breakthroughs to government & investors which takes like forever to materialize and then abandoned all together.

My proposal is to use hamster power. When they run on their little wheels, they could spin magnets which could create electricity. You could have wharehouses with millions of hamsters running on the wheels. Actually, you don't have to use hamsters, you could use rats, because they are so common, especially in cities. Also, you could feed them garbage, especially food waste from resturaunts. If anyone is inspired, go ahead and steal my idea.

I don't get it. The central transformer is the main source of inefficiency in the Tokamak design. That, drift losses and density limits. Why still pursue the design when stellarators are functionally superior? Well, they're orders of magnitude harder to build but once a design works, just make a whole bunch of them. I'm really interested in Germany's W7 and future 4 twist designs which seem much simpler to manufacture. Dangerous radioactive waste from fission is solved. You simply burn it in a different type of reactor. The only thing holding that back is politics, not science. Brings the actual useless waste down to 300 years of impactful radioactivity that needs glassing and then storage. That's a lot more manageable.

Oi chief use the heat to distill water ( 2 to or d3 tritium)but hydrolyse it at 30 k temp portable power thats the game cheers einst prof dr and teacher einst

[@chuckcoleman6502]

Too bad there isn’t enough tritium to run this. Canada will be happy to sell all 25kg that it has, which isn’t enough to test a tokamak. Adding lithium blankets doesn’t help much because they simply can’t produce enough tritium. Adding a beryllium inner blanket to multiply neutrons with result in tremendous radioactivity due to the uranium impurities in the purest beryllium reasonably obtainable.

[@johnh6245]

This is all absolutely correct. Besides the tritium, one might ask where the STEP reactor will obtain the necessary lithium with isotopically enriched Li-6 of which many tonnes will be needed. These are the questions that the very patient interviewer needs to go back and ask.

A Tokamak plasma has about one ten thousandth of a gram of Deuuterium/Tritium. If they have to come up with a long list of improvements to make it practical, using pure Deuterium is probably near the top of the list. Hopefully they will get it working before the next ice age arrives which is the real climate issue. kzbin.infoDaoS9cYE1ZM?feature=share kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKuqgaRvgbide9k

[@stanleydavidson6543]

We can make it by using lithium in reactor cores then you have tritium

[@Justwantahover]

It's like alchemy was centuries ago. 😅

[@thrunsalmighty6863]

Bad decision. Fusion is horribly complicated. Molten Salt reactors are elegance itself.

[@buixote]

Michiyo Kaku is a nuclear physicist who trained with Madman, Edward Teller, father of the Hydrogen Bomb. Dr. Kaku is anti-nuclear, for reasons which he is eminently qualified to explain. Dr. John Gofman was an earlier player in the "nuclear game", who came to realize the dangers of nuclear weapons/power, and denounced our Government's corrupt relationship to the Corporations who have foisted this horrible disaster upon us.

[@russhamilton3800]

Michio Kaku lied on national TV saying the fuel of NIF is seawater.

[@ВладимирВласов-х4г]

These people will never make a commercial fusion reactor. They don't know or understand how to make one.

what happens if the reactor suddenly fluctuates and goes super nova

[@stanleydavidson6543]

Not possible if the plasma fluctuates it stops fussing

It's much more likely to do nothing

Seen alien ships. None run on fusion. Fusion is going nowhere.

[@you5711]

You've seen alien ships?? And, none run on fusion? If alien ships don't run on fusion, then what do they run on? As long as we're on the subject of alien ships, please tell how they're able to manipulate gravity.
