NI CEB Lecture 27 June 2018

NI CEB Evening Lecture:

"Nuclear Fusion: Building a Tokamak"

Presented by: Anthony Shaw (Plasma Spectroscopist, UKAEA)

 

Lecture Synopsis:

Nuclear Fusion is the process which powers the sun, but can we harness it on Earth. Magnetically confined fusion has been under experimental development since the 1960s, with improvements happening faster than Moore's Law for computer chips. In this lecture, the foremost design of fusion reactor - The Tokamak - will be explained and feature of the two fusion reactors located just south of Oxford in Culham - the UK-owned MAST and the European-owned JET will be explored.
