Abstract

Among many facilities in the field of nuclear fusion devices, inertial electrostatic confinement (IECF) device has the specific character of tendency to generate fusion products continuously. Besides the distinctive characteristics, it has become an outstanding focus of interest for many scientists because of several applications such as the ability of performing hydrogen boron fusion. This paper summarizes primary results of the design and construction of the first Iranian IECF device (IR-IECF). It consists of 13.5 cm diameter stainless steel cathode, 41 cm diameter anode with a 60 cm diameter and 60 cm height vacuum chamber. The outcomes of neutron detection rep- resent more than 10 7 neutron/s at the maximum biased voltage of -140 kV and 70 mA current with deuterium operational filling gas in the steady state regime.
