Seleksi Para Peraih Nobel

Selection

The Nobel Committee then prepares a report reflecting the advice of experts in the relevant fields. This, along with the list of preliminary candidates, is submitted to the prize-awarding institutions.

The institutions meet to choose the laureate or laureates in each field by a majority vote. Their decision, which cannot be appealed, is announced immediately after the vote.

A maximum of three laureates and two different works may be selected per award. Except for the Peace Prize, which can be awarded to institutions, the awards can only be given to individuals.

If the Peace Prize is not awarded, the money is split among the scientific prizes. This has happened 19 times so far.

National Fusion Laboratory



Laboratorium Fusi Nasional

Visi

Pusat Riset Tenaga Fusi di Indonesia

Misi

Pembangunan Reaktor Fusi




Program:



Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus (in contrast with fission power). In doing so they release a comparatively large amount of energy arising from the binding energy due to the strong nuclear force which is manifested as an increase in temperature of the reactants. Fusion power is a primary area of research in plasma physics.
The term is commonly used to refer to potential commercial production of net usable power from a fusion source, similar to the usage of the term "steam power." The leading designs for controlled fusion research use magnetic (tokamak design) or inertial (laser) confinement of a plasma, with heat from the fusion reactions used to operate a steam turbine which in turn drives electrical generators, similar to the process used in fossil fuel and nuclear fission power stations.

 

 

Economics

 

While fusion power is still in early stages of development, substantial sums have been and continue to be invested in research. In the EU almost € 10 billion was spent on fusion research up to the end of the 1990s, and the new ITER reactor alone is budgeted at € 10 billion. It is estimated that up to the point of possible implementation of electricity generation by nuclear fusion, R&D will need further promotion totalling around € 60-80 billion over a period of 50 years or so (of which € 20-30 billion within the EU). Nuclear fusion research receives € 750 million (excluding ITER funding), compared with € 810 million for all non-nuclear energy research combined, putting research into fusion power well ahead of that of any single rivaling technology.

Designing a Crew Exploration Vehicle Activity

Audience: Educators & Students Grades: 3-5 




This lesson will help your students answer the question:
Can I design and build a Crew Exploration Vehicle that will be a model for future space exploration?

In this lesson, students will
-- Design a model CEV for future space exploration.
-- Develop a conclusion based upon the results of this design.
-- Compare individual results to class results by looking for patterns.

Designing a Crew Exploration Vehicle Activity
