Could we create Nuclear fusion ?

AI Thread Summary
Nuclear fusion in a tokamak cannot replicate the conditions of a hydrogen bomb, as the processes involved are fundamentally different. While a meltdown of uranium or plutonium could generate energy and neutrons, these neutrons do not facilitate fusion. Achieving the Lawson criterion requires controlled conditions that are not possible with a transient phenomenon like a hydrogen bomb. The goal is to avoid melting fuel, as this would hinder the fusion process. Successful nuclear fusion requires stable and sustained reactions, which are not achievable through methods used in thermonuclear detonations.

Could we create Nuclear fusion ??

Could we archive nuclear fusion in a tokamak like a H bomb ??

If we get urani/ plotoni meltdown , it ll create
- Enegry to heat up
- Enough neutron to reach the Lawson criterion
- Enough neutron to reduce EMF between nuclears , so it get easier to attach and synthesis new nuclears

Neutrons do not help with fusion.

A hydrogen bomb is a transient phenomenon, and it is not possible to use that process in a Tokamak. Magnetically confined and controlled fusion is very different from a thermonuclear detonation.

We wish to avoid melting U and Pu fuel.
 

Thread 'MCNP6 BURN Card Issue: Zero Burnup for Material in Fuel Assembly'

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information（power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.） for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...

Thread 'Beginner Seeking Help: MCNP6 Burnup Example (OECD-NEA Benchmark)'

Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner with MCNP and trying to learn how to perform burnup calculations. Right now, I'm feeling a bit lost and not sure where to start. I found the OECD-NEA Burnup Credit Calculational Criticality Benchmark (Phase I-B) and was wondering if anyone has worked through this specific benchmark using MCNP6? If so, would you be willing to share your MCNP input file for it? Seeing an actual working example would be incredibly helpful for my learning. I'd be really...
