Implementation of an international construction project continues experimental fusion reactor in which Russia takes the most effective part. If scientists succeed, the world will get practically inexhaustible and, which is also important, cheap source of energy. Thermonuclear fusion today is called energy future of mankind.
The updated schedule for the construction of a thermonuclear project is approved ITER (ITER, International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor). On advice ITER, to be held in spring 2015, will present a new project launch date, RIA Novosti reports with reference to Deputy General Director of Rosatom State Corporation Vyacheslav Pershukov.
Recall, earlier speaking at a press conference in Moscow, Pershukov recalled that according to previous plans, the launch of ITER was planned for 2019, but due to delays in the supply of equipment serious delays in construction and launch was delayed by more late date. He emphasized that only two participating countries ITER, Russia and China, deliveries strictly to term. EU, USA, Japan, India and South Korea turned out to be not so executive and out of schedule. This year on construction of ITER was directed about five billion rubles.
“Now an updated schedule is being made. In March-April, a new CEO (ITER Bernard Bigot) will present updated schedule, “RIA quoted Pershukov as saying.
Recall at the beginning of this year, Deputy General Director of the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom Vyacheslav Pershukov and Deputy ITER Director General Paul Thomas opened the year controlled fusion in Russia. Lately Russian and foreign scientists organized a large number of important events on the topic of controlled thermonuclear fusion. So ROSATOM holds the 25th IAEA Conference on thermonuclear fusion energy (St. Petersburg, October 13-18 2014, noting that the Conference on Thermonuclear Energy synthesis, conducted since 1961, is the oldest and largest International Atomic Energy Agency Forum in the field of TCB. Mid December ITER Director General Osamu Motojima signs two Agreements on deliveries with ITER-Center: on connectors of blanket modules and on vertical neutron chamber.
The agreement on the installation was concluded in 2006. The EU should contribute half the amount of financing of the ITER project. Russia It will finance a tenth of the project with equipment supplies. Construction, the cost of which was initially estimated at 5 billion Euro, originally planned to be completed in 2016, however gradually, the estimated amount of expenses doubled, and then the start date of the experiments moved to 2020.
ITER – a project of an international experimental thermonuclear the reactor. The objective of the project is to demonstrate commercial use of fusion reactor and solution physical and technological problems that may occur on this way.
Earlier in the media, sensational reports of a breakthrough in the field practical use of controlled fusion technology synthesis. According to the researchers, fusion reactors can be compact enough. This makes them suitable for use on ships, aircraft, in small cities and even on space stations.
