Need for new

energy source ?

Depleting Fuel reserves

Greenhouse emissions

Promising resource

EnergyRequirement

Nuclear Fusion

The most basic form of energy in the universe is by thermonuclear fusion reactions

The call was answered by a new radix

Fusion Reaction2H

Deuterium 3HTritium

Neutron+ 14.1 MeV

Helium4H + 3.5 MeV

E = mc E = mc 2

Advantages of FusionLimitless clean energy source

No chain reactionAnd nuclear waste

Only Core remains radioactive for 100

years

Deuterium is abundant

in sea waterTritium can be extracted

from lithium and reusable

50 t/a of Deuterium can power 500 reactors of

1Gwe Each

500 times more powerful than fission techniques

Operational IssuesEasy to handle Materials used are less

constrained

reducing risk of uncontrollability The reaction stops within seconds

Helium generated is completely harmless to life

If reactor is damaged heat generation would immediately cease

Radioactive material released into the environment would be less than

1/1000 of the natural background radiation

Longer operational life and compact

ConclusionDevelopment of technology is Required

Fusion, if fully developed by 2050 Will become a widely used futureenergy source

Considerable progress in the last three decades

Any Questions ???
