Iran claims found herbal cure for AIDS

^^Iran make everything possible in a year itself...

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

Hydrogen bomb is not controlled nuclear fusion technology.

No country master the controlled nuclear fusion technology.
Controlled nuclear fusion research papers and harvest, USA is the most, China is the second.

 

[justanobserver]

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.

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

Well there is a consortium of countries (ITER) which is working on controlled nuclear fusion, adding their own expertise to the pool (the Aditya Tokamak in India's case)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER

AFAIK Australia doesn't posses a working Tokamak, only the countries depicted above do

 

[tallboy123]

In india we should concentrate on Thorium reactor than Fusion,coz we have 25% thorium reserve...
we have made it partially running,finally we should make 100% efficient...
But,we are also in ITER...

Iran's fusion claims

The Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI) claims to have built its own nuclear fusion device. The apparatus, referred to as IR-IECF, would appear to be an inertial confinement device. In this type of fusion, laser or ion beams are focused very precisely onto the surface of a small target, a pellet of deuterium-tritium fuel a few millimetres in diameter. The outer layer of the material explodes generating an inward-moving implosion that compresses and heats the inner layers of material resulting in conditions where fusion can occur. Although AEOI has published a statement on the development, technical details of the Iranian device are sketchy. However, Iran's Press TV claims the device can be used to produce isotopes and radioisotopes for medical use.

Experimental Study of the Iranian Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion Device as a Continuous Neutron Generator

Abstract
Among many facilities in the field of nuclear fusion devices, inertial electrostatic confinement (IECF) device has the specific character of tendency to generate fusion products continuously. Besides the distinctive characteristics, it has become an outstanding focus of interest for many scientists because of several applications such as the ability of performing hydrogen boron fusion. This paper summarizes primary results of the design and construction of the first Iranian IECF device (IR-IECF). It consists of 13.5 cm diameter stainless steel cathode, 41 cm diameter anode with a 60 cm diameter and 60 cm height vacuum chamber. The outcomes of neutron detection represent more than 107 neutron/s at the maximum biased voltage of −140 kV and 70 mA current with deuterium operational filling gas in the steady state regime.

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.

Comparison of High-Energy He+ and D+ Irradiation Impact on Tungsten Surface in the IR-IECF Device

Abstract

Polycrystalline tungsten specimens were irradiated in the Iranian Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion device (IR-IECF) by high energy (~100 keV) and high fluency (~1019 ions/cm2) helium and deuterium plasma to investigate the implantation impact of high energetic ions on tungsten as a candidate for fusion first wall material. Comparison of the exposure by He and D2 plasma and influence of high temperature (~1,100 °C) implantation of each ion has been examined. Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate surface morphology changes for various ion fluencies. Results showed the onset of visible surface pores formation especially for helium implanted samples which increased with higher implant fluencies, eventually resulting in a rough and flaky surface structure, unlike deuterium implanted samples on which smoothening of the surface occurred. Microhardness measurements were used to evaluate mechanical properties of implanted tungsten. Each specimen sustained surface hardening after implantation which was observed to increase with greater ion dose. The phase formation and structural evolution were studied by X-ray diffractometry method.

Why do you post stuff that you don't understand ?
Can't you see the humiliation that will follow ?

NO one at the moment has a nuclear FUSION reactor, or at least it is not made public !
The jury is still out on how to sustain a chained fusion reaction and then moderate a system.

Either the writer uses fusion and fission interchangeably or he is just a Irani jackass.

 

[bindaas]

Nuclear fusion reactor is still 3-4 decades away, the OP title is a joke.

 

[itaskol]

nuclear fusion could be the most important future energy. we should work hard on it.nu

 

[Developereo]

The article talks about a nuclear fusion device (a not unreasonable claim), but the title got changed by some clueless editor at PressTV to a fusion reactor.

The two claims are oceans apart.

 

[curioususer]

this is from presstv.ir. it's a credible source.

 

[GoodBoy]

Fusion process??? Is this serious?
