Book Description
Zircaloy-4 fuel sheath specimens 15.2 mm diameter by 0.42 mm wall thickness with beryllium-brazed appendages have been laboratory tested at high temperature with internal gas pressurization and inert gas shielding of the outer surfaces. with sufficient hoop stress at temperatures less than 1073 k cracks, which were due to a beryllium assisted crack penetration mechanism, were found to occur at the appendages. formulae to predict the beryllium penetration and rupture have been derived by westinghouse canada ltd. based on data from direct resistance-heated specimens. the formulae are thought to be able to predict the phenomenon in fuel sheaths with changing temperature/pressure histories. a series of tests was done by canadian general electric to determine the formulae ability to predict the occurrence of beryllium assisted crack penetration in specimens heated indirectly with internal heaters. the tests showed: 1) there is an incubation period before any beryllium assisted crack penetration occurs. 2) at sheath temperatures below approximately equal to 1073 k sheath rupture by excessive mechanical strain will preclude rupture by beryllium assisted crack penetration. 3) the formulae predicted rupture times above and below the braze alloy melting temperature within the previously determined confidence limits. 4) predictions of beryllium assisted crack penetration rupture for specimens with changing temperature/pressure histories were of similar accuracy to predictions of isothermal tests. 5) specimens with an appendage plane of one bearing pad and three spacer pads behaved similarly to the specimens with four spacer pads on which the formulae were based.

Interim Report of the Committee on a Strategic Plan for U.S. Burning Plasma Research

Book Description
In January 2003, President George W. Bush announced that the United States would begin negotiations to join the ITER project and noted that "if successful, ITER would create the first fusion device capable of producing thermal energy comparable to the output of a power plant, making commercially viable fusion power available as soon as 2050." The United States and the other ITER members are now constructing ITER with the aim to demonstrate that magnetically confined plasmas can produce more fusion power than the power needed to sustain the plasma. This is a critical step towards producing and delivering electricity from fusion energy. Since the international establishment of the ITER project, ITER's construction schedule has slipped and ITER's costs have increased significantly, leading to questions about whether the United States should continue its commitment to participate in ITER. This study will advise how to best advance the fusion energy sciences in the United States given developments in the field, the specific international investments in fusion science and technology, and the priorities for the next ten years developed by the community and the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) that were recently reported to Congress. It will address the scientific justification and needs for strengthening the foundations for realizing fusion energy given a potential choice of U.S. participation or not in the ITER project, and develops future scenarios in either case. This interim report assesses the current status of U.S. fusion research and of the importance of burning plasma research to the development of fusion energy as well as to plasma science and other science and engineering disciplines. The final report will present strategies that incorporate continued progress toward a burning plasma experiment and a focus on innovation.

Book Description
The aim of the biennial series of symposia on Fusion Technology, organized by the European Fusion Laboratories, is the exchange of information on the design, construction and operation of fusion experiments. The coverage of the volume includes the technology aspects of fusion reactors to provide a link to the technology of new developments and form a guideline for the definition of future work. These proceedings comprise two volumes and contain both the invited lectures and contributed papers presented at the Symposium, which was attended by 556 participants from around the globe. The 312 papers in this volume, including 17 invited papers, give a broad and current overview of the progress and trends fusion technology is experiencing now, and the future for fusion devices.

Book Description
Fusion offers the prospect of virtually unlimited energy. The United States and many nations around the world have made enormous progress toward achieving fusion energy. With ITER scheduled to go online within a decade and demonstrate controlled fusion ten years later, now is the right time for the United States to develop plans to benefit from its investment in burning plasma research and take steps to develop fusion electricity for the nation's future energy needs. At the request of the Department of Energy, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine organized a committee to develop a strategic plan for U.S. fusion research. The final report's two main recommendations are: (1) The United States should remain an ITER partner as the most cost-effective way to gain experience with a burning plasma at the scale of a power plant. (2) The United States should start a national program of accompanying research and technology leading to the construction of a compact pilot plant that produces electricity from fusion at the lowest possible capital cost.
