Structure of the atom
• The nucleus of an atom is comprised by neutrons and protons.
• Isotopes are the components that have the same number of protons

Fusion in ITER
• Deuterium is a common isotope of hydrogen made by sea water.
• Tritium is an other rare isotope of hydrogen. We can produce it from the following reaction.
6Li + n → 4He +T

Conditions for fusion
In order the particles to acquire
Energy and collide we heat them
in grate temperatures (150.000.000 oC). Thus they
exist in a state called plasma
where they have lost all their ele-
Ctrons.
For the reason why there is not a material than may hold these temperatures we use magnetic field to control the individual charges inside plasma in a process called magnetic confinement.
![Page 18: A presentation about ITER](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061518/558a192cd8b42aff378b4698/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Magnetic confinement
• The main method to make magnetic confinement, is to pass current through plasma and create an incoming magnetic force.
• Because of the plasma’s instabilities we also use an additional toroidal magnetic field.

The plasma may be heated by its self. The helium nuclei that remain from the reaction offer energy to the other particles inside the reactor by collisions.
Moreover we have three additional mechanisms for this procedure : Ohmic heating where the current that passes trough plasma
heats it like the a lamp during its operation. Neutral beam injection where neutral particles are injected
inside the reactor and give energy to the particles via collisions.
Radiofrequency heating where we the plasma in the same way that we heat our food in a microwave oven.

ITER ’s Safety
Except from tritium we do not have any radioactive materials inside the reactor.
Any second inside the reactor there is less than a gram of fuel . The reaction can not continue unless we have fuel.
After keeping in safety the components of the installation for 100 they are as radioactive as a plant that produces energy from coal.
