Pellet injection technology.
Author(s) : COMBS S. K.
Type of article: Article
Summary
Pellet injection is the leading technology for deep fueling of magnetically confined plasmas for controlled thermonuclear fusion research. Hydrogen pellet injection devices operate at very low temperatures (approximately 10 K) at which solid hydrogen ice can be formed and sustained. The article reviews the equipment and instruments that have been developed for pellet injection with emphasis on recent advances and special problems due to tritium radioactivity. Prospects for future development are addressed, as are possible applications of this technology to other areas of research.
