The Islamic Republic of Iran has developed a nuclear fusion reactor, becoming the sixth country in the world to possess fusion technology.


Iranian scientists at the Atomic Energy Organization or Iran (AEOI) have designed and built a nuclear fusion device, named IR-IECF, IRNA reported on Thursday.

The research and work on the reactor was carried out by scientists from the Plasma Physics and Nuclear Fusion Laboratory of the AEOI Nuclear Science and Technology Research Center.

The device uses Inertial Electrostatic Confinement method and can produce isotopes and radioisotopes used in diagnosing and curing cancer.

The US, Japan, South Korea, Australia and France are the only countries which boast fusion technology.

Fusion -- which extracts energy from nuclear reactions with a process akin to how light and heat are produced by the sun -- has been studied for decades, but it has yet to be developed into a viable energy alternative.

The US and its allies accuse Iran of developing a military nuclear program. In June 2009, the UN Security Council imposed a fourth round of sanctions against Iran's financial and military sectors under Western pressure.

Iranian officials have repeatedly refuted the charges, arguing that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Tehran has the right to use peaceful nuclear technology.

heheheh; either they [Iranians] wouldn't had spoken such a blatant lie had they know what FUSION really is

 

[Whiplash]

It's not a big thing if they have. Current fusion technology cannot be produced. It is highly inefficient. Hence not many countries want to invest in it, If Iran wants to waste its money on a tech demonstrator then they can be my guest.

Is it a device or a reactor ?

There is a hell lot of difference in two.

As of now, Iran does not have a credible fission device, which is required to trigger a fusion device.

All in all, i will call this Iran bullshit !

and then they like to write stuff on their missiles ... liars !

Iran and Israel should give up nuclear weapons.
If a nuclear war in the Middle East, all the world will suffer because of oil.

 

[BelligerentPacifist]

You could set up small fusion experiments in a lab, but a reactor really?

 

[Archdemon]

Iran and Israel should give up nuclear weapons.
If a nuclear war in the Middle East, all the world will suffer because of oil.

maybe China Pakistan India N.Korea should give up their nuclear arsenal?

If a nuclear war in Asia, all the world will suffer because of... well duh because it is a nuclear war....

 

[Leviza]

why don't Israel join this list too?
ohhh i see your country lack some gutts to show

peace...

If the USA give up nuclear weapons, China can also give up it.

 

[Archdemon]

If the USA give up nuclear weapons, China can also give up it.

so? if China and Russia will give up their nukes US can also give up

 

[Archdemon]

why don't Israel join this list too?
ohhh i see your country lack some gutts to show

peace...

What guts?

What a joke. China achieved true controlled fusion in 2006 and has created superconducting magnetic confinement in the EAST reactor by 2008. South Korea couldn't even create its own plasma until 2009. People that don't know industry actually think South Korea is an advanced country when in reality the only thing they are advanced in is scientific fraud! Australia hasn't even begun evaluation of fusion research.

Inertial confinement is the caveman technology of fusion too, though for a small country Iran did well, if this report is even true. I don't think its true though, because the report can be debunked with 5 minutes of google.

 

[tallboy123]

wooooooooooow,how are they gonna stop fusion reaction...?

Fusion may result in blast of the reactor..

Or do iranian know the diffrence between Fusion and Fission?

 

[tallboy123]

Guys can anyone provide a source about the list of countries which posses Nuclear fusion tech....

can u provide a source for that mate//
Is the reactor running currently...
China has conducted test in 2006 as u said,by now it should have been operational..
as far as i know no country has a efficient fission tech..
I would be happy to if there is any operational Fusion reactor in china

Controlled nuclear fusion could in principle be used in fusion power plants to produce power without the complexities of handling actinides, but significant scientific and technical obstacles remain. Several fusion reactors have been built, but as yet none has 'produced' more thermal energy than electrical energy consumed. Despite research having started in the 1950s, no commercial fusion reactor is expected before 2050. The ITER project is currently leading the effort to commercialize fusion power.
