Problem 35
Q
Suppose a fusion reactor ran on “d–d” reactions, Eqs. 31–8a and b in equal amounts. Estimate how much natural water, for fuel, would be needed per hour to run a 1150-MW reactor, assuming 33% efficiency.
A
. This not really very much on an industrial scale, since, for comparison, a single firehose can deliver 18000 kg/h of water.
