The research of fusion technique and fusion materials in China started
since the “863” program. Fusion-Fission Hybrid Reactor Project is listed
into the “863” national program in 1986. The Nuclear Fusion Reactor &
Materials Research Division of Center for Fusion Science have completed
“The concept design for CHD”, “The detailed concept design for TETB”,
“The project concept design for TCB”, “The detailed concept design of
FEB” successively. During
1996-2000, “The engineering concept design of
FEB-E” was completed. Meanwhile, the division as a leading unit of the
national fusion reactor materials field has success in materials
development of improved austenitic steel and ferritic steel, and the
results have been published Since 1990s the division kept on the design
research on dispose of long life nuclear wastes by means of
transmutation caused by fusion neutrons for FDT Spherical Tokamak,
searching for non-electrical application of nuclear energy. At the
beginning of 2004, study on the blanket design of tritium production by
helium cooling/solid breeder for ITER was started. |
