  1. Fusion: Putting it all Together Leroy F. Aqiqi

  2. Topics to be Covered • Brief History • How Fusion Works • Advantages of using Fusion

  3. History of Fusion

  4. How Fusion Works • The Reaction • Proton-proton Chain • Deuterium-Deuterium • Tritium-Deuterium

  5. How Fusion Works • Conditions • Temperature • 100 million degrees Celsius • Plasma • Microwaves, Lasers and Ion Particles

  6. How Fusion Works • Pressure • Spacing of H atoms • The Sun uses its gravity to squeeze H atoms together • We use magnetic fields, lasers and ion beams

  7. How Fusion Works • Confinement • Magnetic • Inertial

  8. How Fusion Works • The Reactor

  9. Advantages of Fusion • Abundant fuel supply • Impossibility of a nuclear accident!!!! • Very little nuclear waste • No products can be used for weapons
