Sentences with phrase «fusion reaction generates»

Fusion remains the holy grail of clean energy research, because the fusion reaction generates new elements that are not radioactive, unlike nuclear fission which leaves us with hazardous fuel wastes that require generations of management.

Not exact matches

It might be possible to generate single fusion reactions of bottom quarks inside miles - long particle accelerators, the scientists said.

For decades scientists have sought to generate clean energy by instigating the kind of sustained nuclear fusion reactions that power the sun.

It takes a huge amount of energy to get the plasma into this state, and the goal for ITER researchers is to demonstrate that they can control the fusion reaction and generate 10 times as much power as the reactor consumes.

NIF officials say that they are closing in on achieving «ignition» — a self - sustaining fusion reaction that generates at least as much energy as it consumes.

But while that motion helps produce the fusion reactions that could power a new class of electricity generator, the turbulence it generates can also limit those reactions.

Here the cycle is ionize the gas to make the plasma, build up the current, heat the plasma with an external heater until the temperature for fusion is reached, turn off the heater, and then have the energy require to keep the temperature high generated by the fusion reaction itself.
