Tokamak Energy reveals new laser technology which will be installed on its world record-breaking ST40 nuclear fusion reactor.
Nuclear fusion— the process of generating energy by combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier one— has long been touted as the energy of the future. Dubbed the “power of the stars,” fusion energy offers clean, safe, and virtually limitless power.
Oxford-based Tokamak Energy revealed it was developing new laser measurement technology. According to the company, this technology will transform future fusion power plants and the delivery of clean energy to the grid by controlling extreme conditions within the power plants.Inside the donut-shaped vacuum chambers of tokamaks where fusion reactions occur, plasma temperatures soar to over 100 million degrees Celsius.
“Measuring plasma density is key to our understanding and control of the fusion fuel and efficient future power plant operations,” said Tokamak Energy’s Dr. Tadas Pyragius. “A laser beam fired through the plasma interacts with the electrons and tells us the density of the fuel.” Knowing the density is essential to sustain fusion conditions and deliver secure and reliable energy to the grid.
