Short introduction to fusion energy and ITER
Søren Bang Korsholm
Senior Scientist, Industrial Liaison officer 13.01.2011
Potential of fusion
250 kg of deuterium and tritium = 2.700.000.000 kg coal
Abundant and easily assessable resources No CO2 release Inherently safe No long-lived radioactive waste
How do we achieve fusion energy?
Heat the fuel to 200 million degrees C (15 times the temperature of the core of the Sun)
Keep the fuel floating in a strong magnetic field (5-10 Tesla) in a vacuum chamber of 1000 m3
It can be done! – It has been done
Fusion energy in Hollywood
Doctor Octopus in Spiderman 2
Fusion energy in science – JET, Oxford
Remote handling is required
ITER – the next step
EU is the host – deliver 45 %
7 partners: EU, India, Japan, China, Korea, Russia and USA
~15 billion Euros ~10 years First contracts in
2008 Ready in 2019
