To directly detect the spatial distribution of a plasma current during the collisional merging of two FRCs in the FAT-CM device, an internal current probe using Rogowski coils has been developed.
For a field that has existed for more than 60 years, a lot has happened in fusion research in the last half-decade. In fusion’s case, a trio of technological advances converged in the early 2010s to unleash a wave of innovation. “I think you see this beautiful inflection point in this field where the science maturity and technical capability come together,” said Michl Binderbauer, CEO of TAE Technologies.
ICIS’23 will be hosted by TRIUMF (www.triumf.ca), Canada’s Particle Accelerator Centre, and following the great experience hosting the virtual conference ICIS’21, we are excited to organize this in-person meeting.
With energy prices on the rise, along with demands for energy independence and an urgent need for carbon-free power, plans to walk away from nuclear energy are now being revised in Japan, South Korea, and even Germany. TAE’s approach, which involves creating a fusion reaction at incredibly high heat, has a key advantage.
