What Is an All-Tungsten Divertor Superconducting Tokamak Device?

The all-tungsten divertor superconducting tokamak device is a large scientific device used for controllable thermonuclear fusion energy research. Its core component is the divertor, which is made of all-tungsten material and is used to control the particle flow and heat flow in the plasma to prevent them from directly contacting the device wall, thereby ensuring the stable progress of the fusion reaction. The application of superconducting technology enables the device to operate under high magnetic fields, further improving the confinement performance of plasma.

The divertor plays a vital role in a tokamak device. It directly faces high-temperature plasma irradiation and needs to withstand the impact of strong particle flow and high heat flow. Therefore, its working environment is very harsh and the manufacturing process is also quite complex. The use of an all-tungsten divertor improves the high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of the device, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the device.

Research on superconducting tokamak devices plays an important role in verifying the scientific and engineering feasibility of using nuclear fusion to generate electricity. By controlling nuclear fusion reactions, humans are expected to obtain a clean and efficient energy source to solve the current energy crisis and environmental problems.

The research and development of the all-tungsten divertor superconducting tokamak device involves breakthroughs in multiple key technologies. Among them, the mass production of high-performance rolled tungsten materials, the key technologies of multi-layer hot isostatic pressing of tungsten and copper and chromium-zirconium-copper composites, and the non-destructive testing technology of tungsten-copper composite strings are all crucial. These technological breakthroughs not only solve the problem of precise control of tungsten-copper strings during the high-temperature and high-pressure welding and forming process, but also ensure the quality and performance of the divertor components. This device is of great significance in the field of nuclear fusion research. By simulating the nuclear fusion process inside the sun, scientists can study how to control this reaction, which could lead to a clean, sustainable energy supply in the future. The successful development of the all-tungsten divertor superconducting tokamak device provides important technical support for the commercial application of nuclear fusion energy.

The WEST device being upgraded by the French Atomic Energy Commission is an example of an all-tungsten divertor superconducting tokamak device. The Institute of Plasma Physics of the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully developed the divertor, a key component of the WEST device, demonstrating my country’s strength and contribution in the field of fusion energy research.

The research and development of this device also reflects my country’s leading position in the field of nuclear fusion research. During the development process of the all-tungsten divertor superconducting tokamak device, Chinese researchers have overcome a number of technical problems and achieved a number of important results. The achievement of these results has not only contributed to the improvement of my country’s international status in the field of nuclear fusion research, but also laid a solid foundation for my country’s future energy development.

In short, the all-tungsten divertor superconducting tokamak device is an advanced nuclear fusion experimental device. Its research and development involves breakthroughs in multiple key technologies and is of great significance to nuclear fusion research and energy development. With the further development and improvement of this device, I believe we will be able to achieve more breakthroughs and progress in the field of nuclear fusion in the future.
