Research - MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center
For an attractive fusion reactor, these heating and current drive sources must be efficient, operate continuously, be compatible with the reactor environment, and predictably generate the required plasma conditions.
Simulating Divertor Power Exhaust in ARC Reactor Concepts
The power exhaust projected for future tokamak-based fusion reactors presents a major challenge for fusion energy; fusion power plants will need high radiation in the SOL to reduce divertor plasma temperatures/fluxes to levels that project to realistic lifetime PFC erosion rates.
Superconductor technology for smaller, sooner fusion
2020年10月7日 · These research activities will continue to advance the foundational magnet technologies for SPARC and enable the demonstration of net energy from fusion, a key achievement that signals fusion is a viable energy technology.
MIT expands research collaboration with Commonwealth Fusion …
2022年5月6日 · PSFC is supporting CFS’ efforts towards realizing the SPARC fusion platform, which facilitates rapid development and refinement of elements (including HTS magnets) needed to build ARC, a compact, modular, high-field fusion power plant that would set the stage for commercial fusion energy production.
fusion reactors. It could revolutionize the design of magnetic fusion devices leading to very high performance in compact devices with simpler maintenance methods and enhanced reliability. This new technology could lead to significant acceleration of fusion energy development [4].
