Nuclear fusion - entry into the total nuclear state

If the first nuclear fusion reactor goes into operation at a time of exploding oil prices and energy shortages, it will not be possible to stop plutonium breeding.

Progonse 2050
No matter how many assurances there might be after the publication of these pages that there were never no plans to use nuclear fusion reactors to breed plutonium-239, these are the promises of today, when the price of oil is just around $50 and there are no problems with uranium deposits. But what will it look like in 46 years? With an oil price of perhaps $250? What advertising campaigns will be running then? 20 fusion reactors produce the plutonium-239 fuel for 200 nuclear power plants in Germany from otherwise worthless uranium-238. Cheap energy for economic growth. Finally, after such a long time, cheap energy again!

Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are inextricably linked
Deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion is inextricably linked to nuclear fission due to the fast neutrons produced and the associated ability to breed uranium-238 into plutonium-239. In the case of nuclear weapons, this process has long since been completed. All modern nuclear weapons are hybrid systems where nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are combined. No nuclear bomb without tritium to increase efficiency. Uranium 238 in the casing of hydrogen bombs to increase the explosive power.

Politics - political targets of PEGE
	Nonpolitical, pragmatic, on the other side of ideologies counts in our politic only one target: A long time lasting civilization able to develop further on a stable base.

Philosophy
	Long-term planning and stability have to be the guiding rules of politics. A philosophy based on the mathematic branch of games theory.

Living standard
	What is living standard? How is living standard correctly measured? Is it possible, that our living standard declines drastic, while uncorrect numbers want to make us belive it's like paradise?

Taxes tax politics
	The consequences of the tax politic for humans and environment. The politicians claim to fight for humans and the environment, but the tax politics shows the exact opposit.

Energy politic
	Decades of wrong energy politic. Instead of more living standard with less energy usage, partial the contrary was reached. A result of the wrong tax politic.

Fuel cycle in nuclear fusion reactors
	In a torus system as planned for ITER, only a small amount of deuterium and tritium is fused per combustion cycle before the resulting helium leads to the process being aborted.

Cooling - the limits of nuclear fusion
	Whether burning fossil fuels, splitting nuclei or fusing nuclei, every power plant requires cooling. The cooling requirement for nuclear fusion in particular is very high.

Electricity costs for the fusion reactor
	Cost forecast for the production of electricity from nuclear fusion. Extrapolation of known facts to a profitability calculation for fusion power plants.

JET and ITER nuclear fusion
	Key figures from the energy balance. What colorful glossy brochures to the responsible politicians conceal, but is very easy to understand.

Correctly interpreting the energy balance
	If an energy balance of 1:5 were to be achieved at ITER, the experiment would still have failed, because this would be unusable when converted to power plant operation.

The nuclear fusion reactor as a breeder for plutonium 239
	If electricity production in a nuclear fusion reactor is already too expensive, then there will be a tremendous desire to breed plutonium 239 with it.
