About

This Advances in Nuclear Fusion Science (Polytech - SOKENDAI)* course from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) is a new Summer School module oriented at Master and PhD students specializing in high-temperature plasma physics and controlled nuclear fusion. The lecturers are scientific researchers working and publishing in the corresponding field. 

Overview

Key Facts

The purpose of the Advances in Nuclear Fusion Science (Polytech - SOKENDAI)* course from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) is to give the young participants the possibility to learn directly from the authors of the contemporary scientific publications contributing to the development of the physics basis of the controlled nuclear fusion.

Controlled nuclear fusion is the most complex scientific and technical task the mankind has ever encountered. The demand for a clean, accessible, and dependable energy source is recognized and corresponds to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Topic Cluster "Magnetoplasma; Tokamak Devices; Plasmas" is within top 25% in the world by prominence according to the SciVal portal by Elsevier.

The tokamak was invented in Russia in early 1950s. In 1969 under the leadership of academician L.A. Artsimovich a controlled thermonuclear fusion in a tokamak was implemented in laboratory conditions for the first time in the world. In 2020 the ITER tokamak assembly started. The JT-60SA tokamak is now being prepared for the first plasma experiments in Japan. These devices are major milestones on the path to DEMO, i.e. a demonstration nuclear fusion power plant. ITER is to demonstrate the integration of science, technology, and safety features for a fusion reactor. JT-60SA is aimed at key physics issues for ITER and DEMO.
