Book Description
Formal and informal agreements exist between the US and several other countries, assuring the unrestricted exchange of magnetic fusion information. The Fusion Energy Library at Oak Ridge National Laboratory uses the US Department of Energy standard distribution system and exchange agreements to ensure the receipt of current reports. Selective dissemination of information, computer networks, and exchange programs are additional means for information gathering. The importance of these means as they relate to the fusion program in the US and specifically at ORNL is discussed.

Fusion Materials Research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Fiscal Year 2014

Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
The realization of fusion energy is a formidable challenge with significant achievements resulting from close integration of the plasma physics and applied technology disciplines. Presently, the most significant technological challenge for the near-term experiments such as ITER, and next generation fusion power systems, is the inability of current materials and components to withstand the harsh fusion nuclear environment. The overarching goal of the ORNL fusion materials program is to provide the applied materials science support and understanding to underpin the ongoing DOE Office of Science fusion energy program while developing materials for fusion power systems. In doing so the program continues to be integrated both with the larger U.S. and international fusion materials communities, and with the international fusion design and technology communities.

Book Description
The realization of fusion energy is a formidable challenge with significant achievements resulting from close integration of the plasma physics and applied technology disciplines. Presently, the most significant technological challenge for the near-term experiments such as ITER, and next generation fusion power systems, is the inability of current materials and components to withstand the harsh fusion nuclear environment. The overarching goal of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) fusion materials program is to provide the applied materials science support and understanding to underpin the ongoing Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science fusion energy program while developing materials for fusion power systems. In doing so the program continues to be integrated both with the larger United States (US) and international fusion materials communities, and with the international fusion design and technology communities. This document provides a summary of Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 activities supporting the Office of Science, Office of Fusion Energy Sciences Materials Research for Magnetic Fusion Energy (AT-60-20-10-0) carried out by ORNL. The organization of this report is mainly by material type, with sections on specific technical activities. Four projects selected in the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicitation of late 2011 and funded in FY2012-FY2014 are identified by "FOA" in the titles. This report includes the final funded work of these projects, although ORNL plans to continue some of this work within the base program.

Book Description
The purpose of this document is to review the ORNL Fusion Reactor Technology Studies during the period June 1972 to October 1973. The studies described herein have been carried out by members of a number of ORNL divisions, including the Chemical Technology Division, the Metals and Ceramics Division, the Reactor Division, and the Solid State Division. Several of the efforts are jointiy funded by the AEC Division of Controlled Thermonuclear Research (DCTR) and the AEC Division of Physical Research (DPR). Such efforts are indicated in the text.

Fusion Energy Division Research, Development, and Demonstration Needs

Book Description
The major Research, Development, and Demonstration (R, D, and D) needs for EPR are developed from the technical evaluation of the September 1975 ORNL EPR Reference Design (ORNL/TM-5042) and are presented in a common format. Evaluation was concentrated on the key tokamak features, and only slight consideration was given to peripheral items. Although the list was developed specifically for EPR, it would apply to and be refined during the design of an intermediate system. Each of the R, D, and D needs has been categorized by its program status/priority assignment and from this process, a number of observations can be made.
Fun in Fusion Research

Pages : 160
Book Description
This book discusses the fun side of the quest to develop fusion energy—a modern equivalent of the hunt for the Holy Grail. After more than 70 years of research, despite great progress, the goal has not been realized. Do you have to be crazy to love quests like this? Not really, but you do have to have an unshakeable optimism. Through humorous anecdotes, and accessible yet detailed scientific discussion, this book illuminates the enjoyment of scientific research through an account of fifty years working on fusion energy development. The anecdotes bring out the human side of research, in which innovative and sometimes egocentric scientists create both clever and nutty experiments. Among the many stories within are witchcraft at Harwell, shocking experiences, entertaining talks, and the wit of top scientists such as Marshall Rosenbluth. Above all the book highlights the significant advances made in developing practical fusion energy and the promise for an exciting future with the National Ignition Facility and International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. This book will be of interest to physicists as well as other students and researchers in the scientific and wider communities. - Shows the exciting and fun aspects of science research - Author has spent 54 years working in the area, offering key insights on the history of fusion - Clear, detailed explanations of fusion energy are supplied, helping non-science readers understand the area
