Iran sets 2020 target for nuclear fusion reactor |

Posted by Dand124 on Mon Aug 30 20:23:16 2010 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iRqjZV1Meppj40hTs8IBOv4DdsQwD9HTVLT00Iran says it has set a 2020 target date to build its first experimental nuclear fusion reactor, a feat that has yet to be achieved by any nation. Iran said in July that its nuclear agency began research on the experimental reactor. Nuclear fusion, the process powering the sun and stars, has so far only been mastered as a weapon, producing the thermonuclear explosions of hydrogen bombs. It has never been harnessed for power generation. Asghar Sediqzadeh, the head of the new fusion research center, is quoted by the semi-official ISNA news agency as saying the center will hire 100 experts to join the national project. Tehran is not known to have carried out anything but basic fusion research. |

Nuclear fusion, the process powering the sun and stars, has so far only been mastered as a weapon,That's a ridiculous statement. Farnsworth-Hirsch fusors have been around for almost 50 years and used as a source of neutrons in nuclear physics experiments. We've also had magnetic containment Tokamaks for the past thirty years which have produced helium and neutrons as fusion products. We don't have a problem mastering fusion, we just haven't yet achieved net power and as such cannot use fusion as a power supply. The article is completely unclear as to whether Iran is going to merely construct a tokamak like the ITER or NSTE and pump a few gigawatts into a plasma at a time as we've done for the past 25 years. Even worse would be for them to build fusors, which any halfway competent junior year physics student could likely assemble in a well equipped lab. |

Israel will take care of Iran when she become close to nuclear ready. Can you blame her? I can't and will be cheering when they do. Iran, the bastard country, has already pledged to annihilate Israel and the Jews will not risk another holocaust. If Europe and the American liberal pigs are not up to the task the Israelis are.If Obama and the gutless Euros don't want a real conflagration they will get their asses in gear and see to it that Iran does not go nuclear. |
