ITER计划和核聚变研究的未来

ITER(国际热核聚变实验实验堆)是规划建设中的一个为验证全尺寸可控核聚变技术的可行性而设计的国际托卡马克实验堆。是由美国、日本、欧盟、中国、俄罗斯、韩国和印度在内的7方共同参与合作的目前世界上最大型的国际大科学合作计划。ITER计划的参与各国将通过这项大型国际科学计划,学习和积累大型核聚变堆的研制技术,并培养人才。日本、中国等国家都计划通过参与ITER计划的建设和实验运行,缩短自身与国际核聚变研究最前沿的距离,在未来建造自己的聚变示范堆。最终实现核聚变能源的商业应用。

ITER PROGRAM AND THE FUTURE OF NUCLEAR FUSION RESEARCH

ITER(International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is a planning international Tokamak reactor designed to demonstrate the feasibility of the full dimensions controlled nuclear fusion technology.The project,currently the largest international big science cooperation program,is funded by the EU,United States,Japan,China,Russia,Korea and India.Participants will learn and accumulate the developing technology of the large nuclear fusion reactor,as well as training talents.Participating in the ITER construction and operation,Japan,China are intended to shorten the distance between themselves and the forefront of the international nuclear fusion research,to build th-eir own fusion DEMO reactor in the future,and eventually nuclear fusion energy for commercial application coming true.
