Fusion in 30 years ITER update [2020]

https://www.patreon.com/subjectzerolaboratories Fusion - in 30 years? ITER update [2020] It is the most powerful machine ever built by man, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, ITER, has reached yet another milestone on November 7, 2019. The concrete base which will house the reactor has been finished. Next step is to get the roof going and eventually the reactor itself. This is good news for all participating countries in this monumental task, paving the way for a future with clean and unlimited energy. The roadmap remains unchanged with its first test runs happening around 2025. Many consider ITER to be the last step in this experimental endeavor spanning back more than 60 years of research and development. But ITER is only an experiment that will be used to prove 5 main concepts: 1. Produce 500 MW of fusion power 2. Demonstrate the integrated operation of technologies for a fusion power plant 3. Achieve a deuterium-tritium plasma in which the reaction is sustained through internal heating 4. Test tritium breeding 5. Demonstrate the safety characteristics of a fusion device Sources ITER https://www.iter.org/mach/Magnets https://www.iter.org/sci/whatisfusion https://www.iter.org/proj/iterhistory https://www.iter.org/mach Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttrium_barium_copper_oxide Other https://www.quora.com/Why-is-profitable-nuclear-fusion-research-taking-so-much-time https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2018/10/nextbigfuture-said-iter-would-cost-45-billion-more-and-doe-agrees.html http://news.mit.edu/2018/mit-newly-formed-company-launch-novel-approach-fusion-power-0309 http://news.mit.edu/2018/new-era-fusion-research-mit-eni-0309 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-02966-3 NOTE: The animations in my videos take a substantial amount of time to make, so please be patient.

So far it went through so much politics and savings.
For real. The whole project have so far cost less than one Olympic Games. 29
Because there's more money in coal and oil and those who have plenty of it hiss at the very mention of the words "free" and "energy" put together.
+ all the other reasons mentioned in the video. ... 62
ITER, being phenomenally physically LARGE, establishes the possibility of a HUGE cross sectional area for the Plasma. Where Nuclear Fusion is concerned, there are THREE volumetric criteria. Of the recognized THREE criterion, only two have been varied experimentally, in a large count of ways. The remaining "frontier" is cross sectional area, and ITER stands a good chance of FINALLY, and significantly, exploring THAT variable. You see, the LARGER the cross sectional area of the confined Plasma, the LONGER it takes for the released Energy to ESCAPE (from the confinement zone.) The LONGER this process takes, then the level of HEAT (within the confinement zone) climbs HIGHER, which contributes to the possibility of keeping the Fusion Reaction GOING, perhaps long enough that the Fusion Reaction will, hopefully, become SELF SUSTAINING. ... 2

I'm new to this channel and I'm impressed by the visual effects and not being afraid of going into details. However, some errors crept in.
1. At , you say that fusion is the most powerful reaction after fission, but at you correct yourself by comparing energy released per nucleon (first noted by @Matthew Elvey ).
2. At , you claim that magnetic field is used to put atoms as close as can be done. However, magnetic field is used to confine plasma to prevent it from touching the walls and cooling down. Overcoming Coulomb barrier is achieved by giving the ions high kinetic energy, which in turn is achieved by heating plasma (first noted by @OpenGL4ever ).
3. At , the text states "16 MW input", but audio states "16 MW output", which is correct. However, the text at is correct (first noted by @Matej Gagyi ).
4. At , the text states "magnetic temperature", but you certainly mean "the temperature of the magnets" (first noted by @Younes Layachi ).
5. At , you use the same picture of crystal lattice as at for YBCO, which shows 4 different types of atoms, while niobium-tin superconductor is obviously made from two types of atoms (noted by me).
It would be helpful for less knowledgeable viewers if those errors were corrected.
Still, this video clearly stands out from cheesy popular science videos which just skim over the surface.
Keep up the good work :) ... 9
