CAS Fusion Research Unit Launches Procurement

Recently, the Chinese government procurement website announced the nuclear fusion bidding project of the Plasma Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences under the Hefei Institute of Materia Medica. There are four projects in total: liquid blanket tritium extraction system, internal fuel circulation platform, solid blanket tritium extraction and recovery experimental platform, tritium safety protection platform. The budget amounts are respectivelyThe total bidding amount is RMB 1.345 billion, with amounts of RMB 212 million, RMB 372.4 million, RMB 247 million, and RMB 514 million respectively,The Tenderee is Chinese Academy of Sciences Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences. The Plasma Institute of Hefei Institute of Physics is committed to nuclear fusion research and has built and operated multiple nuclear fusion devices.

controlled nuclear fusionIt is a technology that uses hydrogen isotopes (such as deuterium and tritium) to undergo fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, releasing enormous amounts of energy. Compared with nuclear fission, nuclear fusion has the advantages of high energy density, abundant raw materials, less radioactive waste, and high safety; The ultimate energy source;. According to predictions from the International Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy AgencyBy 2030, the global nuclear fusion market is expected to reach a size of 496.55 billion US dollars,It is expected to break through the trillion dollar market by 2050. Controllable nuclear fusion, as a strategic high ground for national energy security and independent and controllable technology, is accelerating its industrialization process from experimental verification to engineering demonstration. Multiple links in the industrial chain have ushered in an incremental market.

【Introduction to the core units of nuclear fusion research in the Chinese Academy of Sciences】

The core unit of nuclear fusion research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences (hereinafter referred to as“ Plasma Institute; ）For over forty years, the institute has been deeply involved in the field of nuclear fusion,Led the research and operation of China's most internationally influential nuclear fusion experimental device.

Its iconic achievements include the completion and operation of four generationsTokamak device: Conventional magnet tokamak HT-6B/HT-6M, China's first circular cross-section superconducting tokamak HT-7, and the world's first non-circular cross-section fully superconducting tokamak;Eastern Super Ring”（EAST）。

The EAST device has achieved multiple world records, such as 1066 seconds of steady-state long pulse high confinement mode plasma operation at 100 million degrees Celsius. The fully superconducting magnet system can generate a strong magnetic field tens of thousands of times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field, with a localization rate of 95%, providing key technical support for high-temperature plasma confinement at billions of degrees Celsius. At present, the institution is undertaking national responsibilities; 13th Five Year Plan; Big Science and Engineering; Integrated Research Facility for Key Systems of Fusion Reactor Host; (CRAFT) construction and pre research on the design of China Fusion Engineering Experimental Reactor (CFETR), with the goal of achieving fusion energy engineering validation and commercial application.

asInternational Thermonuclear Experimental ReactorThe main force of the Chinese working group of the ITER program is responsible for the research and development of key components such as conductors, magnets, and power supplies, promoting the export of domestic technology to Europe and America, and driving the development of the industrial chain; — For example, Guoguang Electric'sdivertorThe special cables of Jiusheng Electric and the liquid cooling system of Gaolan Co., Ltd. have been applied to EAST and China Circulation No. 3 facilities. By combining engineering practice with basic research, the institute is accelerating its transition from experimental verification to engineering demonstration, laying the foundation for fusion energy demonstration applications in 2045 and commercial power generation in 2050.

 

Jiechuang Nuclear Instrument (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. has always taken the localization of nuclear electronics technology as its first goal. Through continuous technological accumulation, it has developed a series of core components and products for nuclear electronics. On this basis, representative laboratory nuclear instruments (high-purity germaniumγ) have been successively launched in recent years; Spectrometer, alpha; Spectrometer, screen ionization chamber, flow gas low background alpha; /β Measuring instruments and portable instruments (portable lanthanum bromide spectrometerWound contamination detectors, water and food radioactivity detectors, etc.
