AZoM spoke with Dr. Masatoshi Kondo from the Tokyo Institute of Technology about liquid metals and the corrosion of materials in fusion reactors at high temperatures.

2050 -- the optimistic force asked her for 2050 —— forecast, but i think the sceptics are holding out. we still need to prove the concept. once you can do it in a billion—dollar machine that doesn't mean you can spread it around the world in a practical way immediately. but i am an optimist, so i have to say i'm quite excited by this result, and i really do hope that in my lifetime, we'll see fusion reactors, because it'll be a completely different form and energy than anything we've had before. . ., ., �* ., before. yeah, i got to say, i'm an 0 timist before. yeah, i got to say, i'm a...

Work as it is supposed to do. and that will be the first time that we ever create net energy, that we ever create net energy, thatis that we ever create net energy, that is at least the hope, that is what eter is designed to do. so how long, you know, what are we looking out, a few decades or beyond that, even, in terms of when this might be able to replace conventional energy sources? ., , , . sources? the optimistic forecast _ sources? the optimistic forecast are _ sources? the optimistic forecast are for- sources? the optimistic forecast are for 2050, l sources? the optimistic. forecast are...

The other challenges is that during the other challenges is that during the fusion reaction, the energy is created by the generation of these small particles, called neutrons, so a fly out of the core of the fusion device, they are going to collide with materials that are comprised in the inner wall of the device, and thatis the inner wall of the device, and that is what we are going to use to generate electricity, by boiling water to produce steam. what they can also do is make those materials radioactive, so what we're trying to do at the moment is develop materials that are not going to be ...

But the inside of that fusion device is very different to what it looks like now. they have graded jet so it looks like a fusion reactor of the future, —— jet. looks like a fusion reactor of the future, ——jet. so this has looks like a fusion reactor of the future, —— jet. so this has allowed us to test real—life conditions for these future fusion reactors. also, as we said in the report, they have doubled the amount of energy that is produced back in 1907. so in terms of producing conditions are going to be like the future fusion reactors, this is a world first. —— 1997. this...
