Use of fusion energy as a heat for various applications

The potential use of fusion energy for various applications not limited for electric power generation is considered. The inherent need for periodical replacement of a blanket that converts neutron energy for utilization allows flexibility of use of energy by various coolants. One of the potentially attractive uses is of form of heat, at the temperature of supercritical water or superheated, where temperatures above 400–600°C will be achieved with a ODS ferritic steel structure. In this temperature range, many of the plants such as petrochemical, paper, gas and other chemical plants can be operated; besides electricity generation is also more efficient than the light water reactor temperature. Under the constraint of the global environment problem, this feature of fusion energy improves its attractiveness by the production of low carbon fuels such as hydrogen or alcohol, as well as electricity.
