A great presentation of a hugely complicated engineering project, amongst the great endeavours of mankind which one day will produce safe,nonpolluting electricity for all.Enjoy your retirement René but I expect you will follow the progress of this great endeavour that has been your main activity throughout your working life.
Excellent mix of overview / technical / summary content. Learned a lot. Thanks for putting this together and giving us a technical peek at such engineering feats.
27:55 if i'm not mistaken - explosion bonding/welding, is the craziest thing I've seen used to bond two metals. Highly recommend for anyone to check out
In the reaction of the neutron with the lithium, only the lithium-6 isotope is shown. However, this isotope comprises only about 7.6% of natural lithium, the remaining 92.4% being lithium-7. Does it mean that the lithium has to be enriched to get the required breeding ratio?
In general, yes, lithium does have to be enriched to have a higher percentage of Li-6 to produce a tritium breeding ratio larger than 1, however, if you have very high energy neutrons (above 2.8 MeV, like the 14.1 MeV DT fusion neutrons), Li-7 can also breed tritium by taking up that neutron, fission into an alpha particle and tritium, plus a neutron. This process consumed energy but not neutrons. With a better neutron multiplier, we can make a natural lithium breeding blanket work. Both heavy water based and helium cooled ceramics have been studied. One might also add a fission blanket (for example to burn fission waste fuel) that will multiply neutrons better than lead/beryllium, and that will make natural lithium work as well
Can u say blanket any more times🙂🙃🙂 'but' seriously love ya work I hope humanity can get back on it's feet. We can only go... forward not backwards... just forward 👽👽😉
Be is very poisonous? It is a metal that can be very harmful when humans breathe it in, because it can damage the lungs and cause pneumonia. The most commonly known effect of beryllium is called berylliosis, a dangerous and persistent lung disorder that can also damage other organs, such as the heart.
And developing countries could modernize infrastructure without worrying about environmental restrictions. I mean could be a start to ending many disputes over water and resources... Because the internal combustion engine is still very popular in developing countries they ignore environmental restrictions because it's taking their people out of poverty and allows for the complex logistics of running a country. Idk I just think it's smarter than destabilizing each other.

A little more context to add to this presentation: the cat shown at 0:40 is in fact the speaker's cat who goes by the name of Pikachu
Thank you for the deliciously dense loaf of details, like a Christmas fruitcake for the technically inclined, very chewy indeed.
super il me tarde de venir vous voir en personne et merci encore .
very nice presentation and intuitive too explanation.
A very good talk, well explained. Those temp gradients are mind boggling let alone the radiation fluxes
Excellent presentation. Thanks for the indepth technical details.
Really a clear presentation: thank you very much. I hope we could ear you in future development updates.
This video is excellent and I really do not understand why it only has 304 likes :)))

@Cool Baby thx man, didn't know that

Les chinoises deja fait 200k plasma pour une minute et maintenant la vapeur pour tourner le turbine cugnot $$ yunis khay
Tritium chef yunis khay

Who dreams up those unbelievable good titles? Well done you! Did you guys dump your social media staff? ;-)

Ce serait cool d’avoir des sous-titres français !!! Mon anglais n’est pas performant 😄…. Surtout quand j’entends parler de blanquette 😂 …

I'm no genius but wouldn't it be smarter to collaborate on large projects like this instead of killing each other for scraps.... oh well.

Hi man jou wanna buy some helium 3 0.47 megv ronadam
