Dove si sta costruendo il tokamak?
È situato sul sito di Cadarache, nel sud della Francia, vicino ad Aix-en-Provence: lo stesso sito in cui verrà realizzato ITER.
Cosa avviene all'interno di un reattore nucleare?
Un reattore nucleare è un sistema che produce calore grazie alle reazioni nucleari che avvengono all'interno del combustibile inserito nel nocciolo (core), come abbiamo visto nella puntata precedente. E le reazioni si verificano quando i neutroni catturati dai nuclei di uranio iniziano a produrre fissioni. EB
What is the ITER nuclear fusion project?
- The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the world's largest nuclear fusion project began its five-year assembly phase on Tuesday, 28th July 2020. That day, French President Emmanuel Macron took the floor to support the start of the assembly of the masterpieces of the ITER fusion reactor.
What is the International thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER)?
- The purpose of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is to develop the technology for obtaining clean energy through nuclear power on a commercial scale. If this fusion research is successful, the energy generated through nuclear fusion would be considered renewable energy due to the abundance of hydrogen.
What is the ITER project in France?
- What Is the ITER Project in France? The ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) fusion experimental reactor is a large-scale scientific experiment aimed at testing the nuclear fusion source. Currently, the ITER nuclear fusion reactor is under construction in Cadarache, in Southern France.
What is ITER and how does it work?
- Fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and the stars, is a potential source of safe, non-carbon emitting and virtually limitless energy. Harnessing fusion's power is the goal of ITER, which has been designed as the key experimental step between today's fusion research machines and tomorrow's fusion power plants.
