ABSTRACT

This chapter presents an open and frank perspective global model centered around the utilization of nuclear energy in the US and abroad. The physical global model will stress the relativistic future situation that bulk amounts of energy could be extracted in a timely manner from nuclear modes besides the fossil fuel resources. However, since fossil fuel is in a time dwindling state, reliance on nuclear energy to meet the huge demand by industry and other load centers requires the bold acceptance of nuclear power as the answer for increasing future energy needs coupled with increased safeguards. The chapter as a whole touches on a comprehensive review of various feasible modes of securing electric power output from the Tokamak Reactor. It emphasizes the main aspects of economic utilization of Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generation (MHD) power using renewable fuel such as the exhaust plasma from the fusion nuclear reactors or thermally ionized synthetic fuel extracted from prepared refuse.
