京都融合戒指
京都聚变公司将向英国原子能公司 (UKAEA) 供应聚变反应堆零件。
订单数量为两台，预计2023年交付。
订单金额没有透露，但据说一件有数亿日元的规模。
通过未来预定的演示，它将导致获得商用炉零件的订单。
聚变发电：
聚变发电是一种再现太阳能量运动的系统。
氘和氚在等离子状态下碰撞，产生的热量用于发电。
发电时，可发电不排放CO2。
除了国际项目“ITER”之外，各国都在加速研发。
供应“陀螺仪”：
KF 供应称为“陀螺仪”的零件。
大功率微波，
向聚变反应堆振荡
产生反应所需的等离子体状态。
据说，这是日本国内首次接到来自海外的陀螺仪订单。
什么是京都 Fusionier 戒指？
KF 是聚变研究领域的全球权威。
它由京都大学的 Tetsuyuki Konishi 教授于 2019 年创立。
它是在核聚变反应中出来的，
能带走热量的毯子，
排出杂质的导流器等
制造聚变反应堆零件。
与UKAEA在英国签订的合同：
KF 与 UKAEA 签订了商业聚变电站建设项目的合同。
到 2024 年巩固基本设计。
计划是到 2040 年开始运营。
KF 将参与聚变反应堆的设计。

Press Release – UKAEA Gyrotrons for MAST-Upgrade
November 2, 2021
Kyoto Fusioneering Awarded UKAEA Contract to Provide Dual Frequency Gyrotrons for MAST Upgrade Spherical Tokamak Experiment
Kyoto Fusioneering Ltd
– a fusion technology company based in Kyoto, Japan –
has been awarded a contract to provide fusion reactor technology to the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA).
Under the contract,
Kyoto Fusioneering will provide dual frequency microwave heating sources (gyrotrons) for MAST Upgrade (Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak),
based at Culham, near Oxford, UK.
A key aim of MAST Upgrade
– the UK’s national fusion experiment –
is to inform the design of future power plants by testing technology and addressing physics issues.
Kyoto Fusioneering will provide
world-leading gyrotron technology and technical expertise from Japan to support a key aspect of UKAEA’s mission.
Kyoto Fusioneering’s
Gyrotron Division Director,
Dr Keishi Sakamoto, said:
Japan has been a leader in the development of gyrotron systems worldwide for more than 30 years,
and we are very pleased to be taking this research and development and delivering to UKAEA to support their mission towards commercial fusion.
Our next step is to develop for higher performance to lead the world in gyrotron development.
Kyoto Fusioneering’s gyrotrons
will be installed on MAST Upgrade by 2023, to be used in the next phase of its operations.
Use of these gyrotrons on MAST Upgrade is also relevant to UKAEA’s STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) initiative.
STEP – the UK’s flagship programme to design and build a prototype fusion power plant –
will use the data and experience from the plasma heating provided by Kyoto Fusioneering’s gyrotrons on MAST Upgrade to support its design and development.
