  1. Short introduction to fusion energy and ITER Søren Bang Korsholm Senior Scientist, Industrial Liaison officer 13.01.2011

  2. Potential of fusion • 250 kg of deuterium and tritium = 2.700.000.000 kg coal • Abundant and easily assessable resources • No CO2release • Inherentlysafe • Nolong-livedradioactivewaste

  3. How do weachieve fusion energy? • Heat the fuel to 200 million degrees C (15 times the temperature of the core of the Sun) • Keep the fuelfloating in a strongmagneticfield (5-10 Tesla) in a vacuumchamber of 1000 m3 • It canbe done! – It has been done

  4. Fusion energy in Hollywood DoctorOctopus in Spiderman 2

  5. Fusion energy in science – JET, Oxford

  6. Remote handling is required

  7. ITER – the next step • EU is the host – deliver 45 % • 7 partners: EU, India, Japan, China, Korea, Russia and USA • ~15 billion Euros • ~10 years • First contracts in 2008 • Ready in 2019
