Laser Megajoule: nuclear simulations in France

[Christophe]

The Megajoule Laser has made its first tests successfully. France becomes with the United States one of only two powers capable of simulating a nuclear explosion.

Uh when read this passage:

176 hyper-powerful lasers pointing to a sphere of 140 tons whose center will reach a temperature of about 100 million degrees, a pressure of 100 billion bars and densities close to that of the center of the Sun.

This is sufficient conditions to achieve the fusion of Hydogen ... no?

In addition to tokamak: energies-fossil-nuclear / stellarator-Wendelstein-7-x-merger-and-h2-on-earth-yesterday-t14491.html no?

[Christophe]

Ah bin yes it is planned:

Two unknowns remain. The first concerns what the CEA researchers call the ultimate experiment, that is to say the nuclear fusion obtained by vaporization of a capsule filled with a mixture of deuterium-tritium. The American precedent makes it cautious. Persuaded to get there from 2012, the NIF stumbles on unresolved difficulties. French side, we announce nothing before ten years.

Uh, did you see who signed the article?
Yes yes it is: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Lauvergeon

this one probably did not get enough money from Areva ...

what I will remember for a long time is his stint at the Grand Journal (a long time ago, I think Denisot was still piloting it); she threw you into it "Areva is the leader in clean and renewable energy" ...

He is also the leader of the recapitalised deficit by the State, with scheming and technical shipwrecks of all kinds (Uramin, EPR Finns ...)

To return to the subject of Megajoule, probably Anne is right, it is an experience that is very unlikely to succeed.

It should be remembered that the sun shines ... the energy is there that falls from the sky.

like, some news HS of Anne ...
