Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion represent two fundamental processes for harnessing atomic energy, both of which rely on specific technologies to manage and sustain reactions. Although their mechanisms and requirements are different, both fission and fusion reactors can benefit from vacuum components in critical areas. Let’s explore how these components are used.
Nuclear Clean Energy
Synchrotron light sources are among the most advanced tools for scientific research, producing high-intensity, tunable beams of X-rays, infrared, and ultraviolet light.
Nuclear clean energy needs vacuum for controlled environments, efficiency in reactions and safety in nuclear fusion and fission technologies.
