Construction of the ITER facility began in 2013 and first plasma is expected in 2025. It's location is Cadarache in the south of France. This facility will build upon the understandings developed at the Princeton TFTR tokamak facility and other magnetic confinement research. The design goal is to produce 500 MW of output power for 50 MW of input power, or a tenfold yield. This reactor would then form the model for the construction of commercial power reactors.
托卡马克设施的建设于2013年启动,预计2025年首次实现等离子体放电。该设施位于法国南部的卡达拉奇。这一设施将基于普林斯顿TFTR托卡马克设施及其他磁约束研究的成果进行设计。设计目标是实现500兆瓦的输出功率,对应50兆瓦的输入功率,即十倍的增益。这种反应堆将作为商业核电站建设的原型。  |  References:
