      Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences

      The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

      Notes on fusion

      The ST25-HTS tokamak.

      Governments around the world have been interested in fusion for more than 70 years. Fusion research was largely secret until 1968, when the Soviets unveiled exciting results from their tokamak (a magnetic confinement fusion device with a particular configuration that produces a toroidal plasma). The Soviets realized that tokamaks were not useful as weapons but could produce plasma in the million-degree temperature range to demonstrate Soviet scientific and technical prowess to the world.

      Following this breakthrough, government laboratories around the world continued to pursue various methods of confining hot plasma to understand plasma physics under extreme conditions, getting closer and closer to the conditions necessary for fusion energy production. Tokamaks have been by far the most successful configuration. In the 1990s, the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory produced 10 MW of fusion power using deuterium-tritium fusion. A few years later, the Joint European Torus (JET) in the United Kingdom increased that to 16 MW, getting close to breakeven using 24 MW of power to heat the plasma.

Description

This book provides a detailed account of the development, design, construction, and initial operation of the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) and the associated pyrometalurgical processing facility. This firsthand account includes a detailed presentation of the design and construction of the reactor, as well as numerous original drawings and photographs. Explanations of certain design choices are provided, as well as experiences gained with the EBR-II. Also of general and historical interest, the book includes an appendix that traces the lineage of EBR-II, beginning with Erico Fermi and Walter Zinn and progressing to the EBR-II project.
