[en] The Canadian Fusion Fuels Technology Project (CFFTP) was originally conceived as having a Technology Applications Program to help fulfill its mandate of extending and adapting existing Canadian technology for use in international fusion programs. This technology was determined to be materials, breeder technology, remote handling, health and saftey, and tritium fuel systems. The CFFTP Applications Program has done work for the STARFIRE, MARS and TFTR reactors as well as developing two computer codes for tritium fuel systems. In the future the Technology Applications Program will be involved in the Tokamak Fusion Core Experiment (TFCX) as well as work for NET, JET and Frascati

[en] It is shown how helium-3 can be obtained from the moon and how its use in fusion reactors can benefit the inhabitants of this planet. The physics and technology issues associated with the use of He-3 is addressed. A description is given of He-3 distribution on the moon and of methods which could be used to retrieve it

[en] The Ontario government recently announced that it will contribute $9.4-million to the Canadian Fusion Fuels Technology Project which was launched in 1982 to develop fusion fuel as an energy source. The project's budget is set at $33-million for the next five years, about double the budget for the first five years. The province's contribution comes from the $1-million Premier Council's Technology Fund. Aside from the Ontario government's contribution, Ontario Hydro and Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. will also pitch in to fund the project. Provincial energy minister Robert Wong says Ontario wants to develop fusion energy because: unlike atomic energy, fusion energy does not produce radioactive waste which must be stored or disposed of through expensive means; and, about 80% of the province's energy j comes from diminishing fossil fuels which contribute to pollution. As part of a commitment to world-wide fusion research Canada has signed an agreement with the European Economic Community to help research and design the world's first fusion reactor, called the International Thermal Experimental Reactor. Mr. Wong says Ontario is hoping the reactor will be built in the province when that decision is made in 1990. He said it would create thousands of construction jobs and give the province significant export potential

[en] A small fusion fuel cleanup system has been designed and experimentally tested at CRNL's Tritium Laboratory. The background requirements of fusion fuel systems, in general, are reviewed and the system built at CRNL described. In addition, the contributions of tritium technology developed as part of the CANDU system to the tritium processing requirements of fusion reactors is briefly mentioned

[en] The bibliography cites research on using electron beams to initiate fusion as an alternative to laser fusion. Theoretical and experimental research concerned with the generation and dynamics of relativistic electron beams and their interaction with high atomic number materials is included
