Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, H, known as deuteron and denoted by D, can be thought of as a candidate for fusion reactor. The D-D reaction is H + H He + + energy. In the core of fusion reactor, a gas of heavy hydrogen is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of H nuclei and electrons is known as plasma. The nuclei move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place. Usually, the temperatures in the reactor core are too high and no material wall can be used to confine the plasma. Special techniques are used which confine the plasma for a time before the particles fly away from the core. If is the density (number/volume) of deuterons, the product is called Lawson number. In one of the criteria, a reactor is termed successful if Lawson number is greater than 5 10 s/cm . It may be helpful to use the following : Boltzmann constant eV/K; eVm.In the core of nuclear fusion reactor, the gas becomes plasma because of
- Astrong nuclear force acting between the deuterons.
- BCoulomb force acting between the deuterons.
- CCoulomb force acting between deuteron-electrons pairs.
- Dthe high temperature maintained inside the reactor core.
