Paragraph for Question Nos. 4 to 6

Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, ²₁H, known as deuteron and denoted by D, can be thought of as a candidate for fusion reactor. The D-D reaction is ²₁H + ²₁H → ³₂He + n + energy. In the core of fusion reactor, a gas of heavy hydrogen is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of ²₁H 1 nuclei and electrons is known as plasma. The nuclei move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place. Usually, the temperatures in the reactor core
are too high and no material wall can be used to confine the plasma. Special techniques are used which confine the plasma for a time t₀ before the particles fly away from the core. If n is the density (number/volume) of deuterons, the product nt₀ is called Lawson number. In one of the
criteria, a reactor is termed successful if Lawson number is greater than 5 × 10¹⁴ s/cm³.

It may be helpful to use the following.
Boltzmann constant k = 8.6 × 10^-5 eV/K;

e²/πε₀ = 1.44 × 10^-9 eVm.

4. In the core of nuclear fusion reactor, the gas becomes plasma because of –
(A) Strong nuclear force acting between the deuterons
(B) Coulomb force acting between the deuterons
(C) Coulomb force acting between deuteron-electron pairs
(D) the high temperature maintained inside the reactor core

5. Assume that two deuteron nuclei in the core of fusion reactor at temperature T are
moving towards each other, each with kinetic energy 1.5 kT, when the separation
between them is large enough to neglect Coulomb potential energy. Also neglect any
interaction from other particles in the core. The minimum temperature T required for
them to reach a separation of 4 × 10^-15 m is in the range –

a. 1.0 × 10⁰9 K is l.t. T is l.t. 2.0 × 10⁹ K
b. 3.0 × 10⁰9 K is l.t. T is l.t. 4.0 × 10⁹ K
c. 2.0 × 10⁰9 K is l.t. T is l.t. 3.0 × 10⁹ K
d. 4.0 × 10⁰9 K is l.t. T is l.t. 5.0 × 10⁹ K

6. Results of calculations for four different designs of a fusion reactor using D-D reaction
are given below. Which of these is most promising based on Lawson criterion ?
(A) deuteron density = 2.0 × 10^12 cm–3, confinement time = 5.0 × 10^–3 s
(B) deuteron density = 8.0 × 10^14 cm–3, confinement time = 9.0 × 10^–1 s
(C) deuteron density = 4.0 × 10^23 cm–3, confinement time = 1.0 × 10^–11 s
(D) deuteron density = 1.0 × 10^24 cm–3, confinement time = 4.0 × 10^–12 s
