ITER: The ’audacious plan to create a new energy source could save the planet from catastrophe’ - or destroy us all.

Posted by Krishna Kalki on March 4, 2014 at 6:11pm in Alternative Media, World Events & News
The New Yorker online magazine has published an article by Raffi Khatchadourian about a potential new energy source. But the concept is as bizarre as it is frightening. The power produced by this new reactor makes it seem like the holy grail of energy, but the inherent danger and risk of catastrophe should make humanity stand back and RECONSIDER.The plan is creepy and terrifying in its implications, especially if something goes wrong (and according to Murphy’s Law, it will). It echoes of CERN, a project plagued by mishaps. Now the public is going to be forced to fork out for this mega-project - so much so that a new currency is being invented to organize the dubious enterprise!As we’re still learning hard lessons from the consequences of Fukushima Daiichi power plant ruination, we should beware. This new International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) could be Fukushima times 1000.This mega-explosive mindset seems like a true death-wish. It’s absurd and morbidly humorous that this massive destruction machine is titled by the New Yorker as something that will "save the planet."More on the short trip to annihilation...ITERCommercial reactors modelled on ITER could generate power with no carbon, virtually no pollution, and scant radioactive waste. Illustration by Jacob Escobedo.Years from now—maybe in a decade, maybe sooner—if all goes according to plan, the most complex machine ever built will be switched on in an Alpine forest in the South of France. The machine, called the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, or ITER, will stand a hundred feet tall, and it will weigh twenty-three thousand tons—more than twice the weight of the Eiffel Tower. At its core, densely packed high-precision equipment will encase a cavernous vacuum chamber, in which a super-hot cloud of heavy hydrogen will rotate faster than the speed of sound, twisting like a strand of DNA as it circulates. The cloud will be scorched by electric current (a surge so forceful that it will make lightning seem like a tiny arc of static electricity), and bombarded by concentrated waves of radiation. Beams of uncharged particles—the energy in them so great it could vaporize a car in seconds—will pour into the chamber, adding tremendous heat. In this way, the circulating hydrogen will become ionized, and achieve temperatures exceeding two hundred million degrees Celsius—more than ten times as hot as the sun at its blazing core.No natural phenomenon on Earth will be hotter. Like the sun, the cloud will go nuclear. The zooming hydrogen atoms, in a state of extreme kinetic excitement, will slam into one another, fusing to form a new element—helium—and with each atomic coupling explosive energy will be released: intense heat, gamma rays, X rays, a torrential flux of fast-moving neutrons propelled in every direction. There isn’t a physical substance that could contain such a thing. Metals, plastics, ceramics, concrete, even pure diamond—all would be obliterated on contact, and so the machine will hold the superheated cloud in a “magnetic bottle,” using the largest system of superconducting magnets in the world. Just feet from the reactor’s core, the magnets will be cooled to two hundred and sixty-nine degrees below zero, nearly the temperature of deep space. Caught in the grip of their titanic forces, the artificial earthbound sun will be suspended, under tremendous pressure, in the pristine nothingness of ITER’s vacuum interior.Read Full Article @http://m.newyorker.com/reporting/2014/03/03/140303fa_fact_khatchadourian?currentPage=all&utm_source=nextdraft&utm_medium=iosapp
