Nuclear fusion gains

Japanese: 核融合利得 - かくゆうごうりとく
Nuclear fusion gains


[Conditions for thermonuclear fusion plasma]
To cause thermonuclear fusion, plasma must be confined and heated from the outside until it reaches a sufficiently high temperature. The ratio Q f of the energy released by the reaction to the energy required for it is called the fusion gain, and if the plasma is in a self-heating state due to the reaction products, external heating is unnecessary and Q f = ∞. Generally, if Q f > 1, it qualifies as an energy source, but considering various losses, it can only be considered a practical energy source when Q f ≿ 10.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "nuclear fusion gains" is listed below.

【熱核融合プラズマの条件】
 熱核融合を起こすには,プラズマを閉じ込め,外部から十分高温になるまで加熱する必要がある。反応によって放出されるエネルギーとそれに必要とされるエネルギーの比Qfは核融合利得と呼ばれ,とくにプラズマが反応生成物による自己加熱状態にあれば,外部からの加熱は不必要でQf=∞である。一般には,Qf>1であればエネルギー源としての資格を有するが,種々の損失を考えればQf≿10となって初めて実用的エネルギー源とみなしうる。…
