It is believed that it would produce only negligible amounts of radioactive waste and the oceans would be a near unlimited supply of fuel for it, unlike world supplies of Uranium-235.
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
A fusion reactor that needs more energy than it produces would not be economically viable or practical for power generation. The purpose of building a fusion reactor is to generate more energy than it consumes, in order to provide a sustainable and efficient source of power. If it cannot achieve this goal, it defeats the purpose of investing in fusion energy technology.
Currently, the estimated cost to build a fusion reactor ranges from several billion to tens of billions of dollars, depending on the specific design and scale of the project. It is a significant investment that requires long-term funding and collaboration between governments and private institutions.
Scientists hope to achieve a sustainable and controllable fusion reaction that can generate abundant clean energy. The research on Tokamak Fusion Reactors aims to overcome the technical challenges of achieving self-sustaining fusion reactions and commercialize fusion power as a viable alternative energy source. Success in this research could help address global energy needs and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Developing a fusion reactor for power generation is challenging due to the need to confine and control the extremely high temperatures and pressures required for nuclear fusion to occur. Additionally, managing the plasma within the reactor, handling the intense neutron radiation, and finding suitable materials that can withstand the harsh conditions present further obstacles. Research is ongoing to overcome these challenges and make fusion power a viable energy source.
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
The Sun is an immense fusion reactor in space. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions at its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing vast amounts of energy in the process.
Deutrium and tritium are needed as fuel in fusion reactor.
no
No
solar is a billion times better.
It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.
yeah, exactly
An Ark reactor as currently describe in comic is very much like a Nuclear Fuel Cell. Possibly convert energy from Nuclear reaction to power. Possibly a plasma nuclear fusion reactor. I believe in the future it could be made. See the link and compare the similarity of fusion reactor and Ark reactor.
uranium-235 your welcome :)
