Control of plasma instabilities and flow velocity in the STOR-M tokamak by RMP and CT injection

聚变能是从氢和氚(D-T)之间的核反应中提取的。氚可以从海水中提取(海水中的氚浓度约为百万分之115)，而氚可以从地球上丰富的锂中提炼出来。经过核聚变科学家和工程师几十年的努力，一种具有净能量增益的自持式实验聚变堆将很快在法国夏达拉奇建造的国际热核聚变实验堆(ITER)中得到验证。热核实验堆参与了一个由中国、欧盟、印度、日本、韩国、俄罗斯和美国参与的国际合作项目。ITER是一种托卡马克聚变反应堆装置，使用磁场将高温(1亿摄氏度)和高密度燃料限制在等离子体状态。聚变能源之所以有吸引力，是因为它有充足的燃料，它的安全性没有熔毁的危险，而且它的碳足迹很低。

Fusion energy is extracted from the nuclear reaction between deuterium and tritium (D-T). Deuterium can be extracted from sea water (the concentration of deuterium is about 115 parts per million in sea water) and tritium can be bred from lithium which is abundant on earth. After decades long efforts by fusion scientists and engineers, a self-sustained experimental fusion reactor with net energy gain will soon be demonstrated in ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) currently built in Chadarache, France. ITER in an international collaborative project participated in by China, European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and USA. ITER is a tokamak fusion reactor device using magnetic fields to confine high temperature (100 millions of degrees) and high density fuels in the plasma state. Fusion energy is attractive because of its fuel abundance, its safety without a danger of melting-down, and its low carbon footprints.
