Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: A Fusion Power Plant


1
A Fusion Power Plant
  • to be built in the United States

2
Why Fusion Energyfrom the Public Perspective
  • Climate change
  • Massive evoltion of electricity demand
  • demographics
  • applications
  • Who is our enemy?
  • Who will pay?

3
Proving Fusion Works
  • A small-scale tokamak-based Power Plant (SSTPP)

SAFEC
6
  • SAFEC
  • SAFE
  • CLEAN
  • ECOLOGIC
  • ECONOMIC

7
GOALS
  • Determine economics
  • Determine staffing needs and organization

8
GOALS
  • Determine economics
  • Determine staffing needs and organization
  • Determine materials lifetimes and maintenance
  • Determine limiting factors or bottlenecks
  • Run long pulses (hours to weeks)

9
GOALS
  • Demonstrate net electricity generation
  • Demonstrate adequate plasma heating and control
    of distortions
  • Demonstrate structural integrity
  • Demonstrate safe tritium breeding and handling
  • Demonstrate superconducting magnetics
  • Demonstrate divertor performance
  • Demonstrate feed and ash removal

10
DESIRED LOCATION
  • Near or on an established fission power plant
  • Near an academic center
  • Near an urban cultural center
  • Has established nuclear handling capabilities
  • Has experienced laboratory and technical
    competencies
  • Has access to supercomputer facilities
  • Has adequate road access and sufficient land

11
Funding
  • No cost to site owner (indeed the reverse)
  • No DOE or other national government funding
  • No conventional venture capital
  • No corporate investors
  • Wealthy Philanthopy has not worked

12
Funding
  • No cost to site owner (indeed the reverse)
  • No DOE or other national government funding
  • No conventional venture capital
  • No corporate investors
  • Wealthy Philanthopy has not worked
  • Equity Crowd Sourcing Low-level Philanthropy

13
Funding Mechanics
  • Fusion Advocates DHP SAFEC
  • Both Swiss-based entities
  • American and Swiss management and technologies
  • Large number of US technology leaders anticipated
  • Possible Swiss or US site for initial facility

14
Funding Mechanics
  • Fusion Advocates DHP SAFEC
  • FA promotes fusion to the general and lay public
  • FA collects donations for fusion promotion
    expenses
  • FA is the public face of SAFEC

15
Funding Mechanics
  • Fusion Advocates DHP SAFEC
  • DHP sells shares in SAFEC
  • Company has database of over 3.5 million
    high-risk investors
  • Legal experience in international company
    formation
  • Experienced in helping manage international
    startups

16
Sources of Personnel
  • US National Laboratories
  • US Fusion-oriented universities
  • US Based fusion-oriented companies
  • European institutions and universities
  • Word-of-mouth
  • Worldwide advertising

17
Timing
  • Initial Planning Sessions
  • 3 x 4 days over first two months
  • Purposes
  • - basic machine design (size, many other
    parameters)
  • - scheduling, including CPM/PERT
  • - personnel requirements, with timings
  • - identification of potential general contractors
    and component suppliers to be contacted
  • - financial planning
  • - administrative planning

18
Staffing and Employment
  • Administrative full-time employees
  • Construction workers full time some probably
    sub-contracted
  • Technicians mostly half-time employees
  • Scientists and Engineers initially half-time
    employees (some full-time, partly off-site)
  • Department heads initially as consultants paid
    on a daily basis

19
Ideal Sites Exist
  • In Switzerland
  • Owned by university
  • Meets all of the criteria listed above
  • Affiliation with Swiss universities means access
    to
  • Erasmus and other EU initiatives and fusion
    centers
  • TCV, CRPP and other science and technology
    centers
  • various academic departments
  • Nuclear engineering

  • Materials sciences
  • Architecture
  • Numerous technical and IGO libraries
  • Alumni networks
  • Students

20
Ideal Sites Exist
  • In the United States
  • Bates Laboratory - Owned by MIT
  • Meets all of the criteria listed above
