核聚变装置弹丸发射器的研究进展

The Latest Development of the Pellet Injector Used in Nuclear Fusion

利用弹丸发射器把冷冻的氘丸和氚丸发射入磁约束热核等离子体中是给聚变反应堆添加燃料的有效方法之一。从70年代后期起，许多国家开始研制弹丸发射器，我国核工业部西南物理研究院和中国科学院等离子体物理研究所也在研制弹丸发射器。

Injecting pellets of frozen deuterium or tritium into magnetically confined, hot plasma with the pellet injector has become one of the most effective techniques for refueling a fusion power reactor. Since the late 70's, extensive research effort has been focused on the develoqment of the pellet injectors by quite a few research groups of many countries. Considerable progress has also been made in this area by the Southwestem Institute of Physics of Chinese Nuclear Ministry and the Institute of Plasma Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences. In this paper,the latest development of the pellet injector was reviewed.
