Summary
Home » Energy » Swiss-cheese Design Could Advance Nuclear FusionScientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are adding tiny, Swiss-cheese-type holes to components to improve fusion energy generation processes.Above -PPPL physicist Andrei Khodak next to diagrams showing his concept for a porous fusion facility wall (Collage by Elle Starkman / PPPL Office of Communications)New computer simulations show that placing the holes — porous, sponge-like covers that cap off reservoirs of liquid lithium — around the inner walls of doughnut-shaped tokamak(link is external) fusion facilities can absorb damaging excess heat inside the facilities. Results of the validation and numerical analysis of liquid lithium plasma facing components using porous walls will be presented.SOURCES- Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), Nuclear Materials and Energy
