There are two fundamental possibilities of using controlled thermonuclear reaction: magnetic holding plasma and internal holding plasma. At

of scientists at the I.V. Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow. The Tokamak is a ring-shaped vacuum chamber placed inside a toroidal solenoid. An electrical discharge is produced in the chamber in a

T-3 Tokamak. The whole world believed in the Tokamak. The national programmes of the USA, Japan, France, the FRG, Britain and several other countries were aimed at the use of Tokamak-type systems. Scien- tists are still working on T-15, a special characteristic part of which is the superconductive toroidal solenoid, a prototype of the analogous system of a thermonuclear reactor.

The joint efforts of scientists from different countries have made |l possible to raise the temperature of plasma to 80 million degrees. Sontf experience has been achieved in designing and building whole install4" tions and operating their separate systems.

IT IS INTERESTING TO KNOW...

...that Alfred Nobel, Swedish chemist and engineer, was known for the invention of dynamite. Everything that he invented served military purposes. He understood how terrible his inventions were, but he easily forgot about them saying: "The things which we develop are terrible indeed, but they are so interesting and so perfect technically that it makes them more attractive."

But one morning, while looking through a French newspaper Nobel read about... his own death. The paper described his inventions as "terrible means of destruction" and he was named "a dynamite king" and "a merchant of death". The thought that his name would always be connected with dynamite and death shook Nobel. He felt he could never be happy again. He decided to use all his money (about 2,000,000 pounds)

are awarded every year. Nobel prizes have become the highest international scientific awards. Perhaps it's an irony of life that some of Nobel prize winners helped to make the atom bomb.
