      Accelerator Applications

      Accelerator Applications

      The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

      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

Our daily exposure to radiation comes from numerous sources within our environment. The annual dose to which we are subjected depends upon where and how we live, and what we eat, drink, and breathe. This easy-to-use chart shows how to estimate that dose and compare it to the small amount of exposure found in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant. Suitable for student groups, discussion groups, exhibitions, and anywhere else that nuclear energy may be the topic of discussion. (Aimed at 5th grade through 12th grade levels.) Full Color. 8.5 x 11 Tri-fold.
