Further Information
Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.
| additional remarks | The course introduces the fundamentals of Nuclear Fusion Reactor Engineering and Technology. After an overview of the main nuclear fusion reactions and the physics fundamental background, the operating principles of existing fusion devices and those under construction will be presented. It will also introduce the concepts of future thermonuclear reactors.*Main Topics*# Main Nuclear Fusion Reactions and Approach to Fusion as Energy Source# Outline of Thermonuclear Fusion Devices (Magnetic and Inertial Confinement)# Basic of Plasma Physics# Tokamak and Stellarator working principles# Technology of the main components (Superconducting magnets, plasma facing components, breeding balcnkets, cryogenic systems, etc.)# Manufacturing, installation and commissioning of large fusion experiments# Status and Prospects of Nuclear Fusion, including an overview of advanced and innovative concepts |
