On August 25, in Tokyo, a delegation of the Institute of Nuclear Physics headed by Director General Sayabek Sakhiyev had the meeting with the President of Marubeni Utility Services Takuma Nagase.
The parties discussed the current status of work on studying the processes and features of gas emission from promising lithium ceramics under neutron irradiation conditions at the WWR-K reactor. These studies are being conducted by order of the National Institute of Quantum Science and Technology of Japan, and Marubeni Utility Services is acting as the project coordinator.
Takuma Nagase noted that the results of this project are of high practical importance for solving the problem of self-sufficiency of fuel for a thermonuclear reactor and contribute to achieving a controlled thermonuclear fusion.
In addition, the parties discussed plans for the future. They are related to the development of thermonuclear technologies, within the framework of which it is planned to conduct reactor tests of improved functional and structural materials for thermonuclear facilities.
At the end of the meeting, the leaders of the parties noted the positive and professional dynamics of the current project implementation and agreed to hold a technical meeting of specialists in the near future to discuss the plans for a new study.
