An introduction about the production of electrical Energy from controlled thermonuclear fusion. I focus on the word wide project ITER which is going to be inplemented in France.

3. Lights on the earth at night

4. 2 billion people Do not have access to the electricity

5. Vast needs in the industrialized world.

6. Fossil fuels

7. Alternative ways of energy production

8. Japan UK The current reactors

9. ITER a larger project

13. Mass and energy

14. Fusion

16. Cross section is the probability of the reaction to happen The most efficient reaction Cross section

17. In order the particles to acquire Energy and collide we heat them in grate temperatures (150.000.000 o C). Thus they exist in a state called plasma where they have lost all their ele- Ctrons. Conditions for fusion For the reason why there is not a material than may hold these temperatures we use magnetic field to control the individual charges inside plasma in a process called magnetic confinement .

22. Thank you !

23. Neutral beam heating device

24. Radiofrequency heating Electron Hybrid Frequency 8 GHz Electron Cyclotron Frequency 200 GHz Ion Cyclotron Frequency 70 MHz In order to heat the plasma we have to use a Specific type of Radiofrequency For each kind of particle
