| thermonuclear | Pertaining to nuclear reactions brought about by nuclear fusion; (e.g., the fusion of hydrogen to helium at temperatures of over 100,000,000°C). (the reaction in the "hydrogen bomb"). (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| thermonuclear conditions | <radiobiology> Achievement of an adequately confined plasma, having temperature and density sufficiently high to yield significant release of energy from fusion reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermonuclear fusion | <radiobiology> Fusion achieved by heating the fuel into the plasma state to the point where ions have sufficient energy to fuse. Also used to characterise fusion between thermal ions as opposed to fusion involving injected beam ions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermonuclear reaction | <radiobiology> See thermonuclear fusion, above. (09 Oct 1997) |
| controlled thermonuclear fusion | <radiobiology> The process in which light nuclei, heated to a high temperature in a confined region, undergo fusion reactions under controlled conditions, with associated release of energy which may be harnessed for useful purposes. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| controlled thermonuclear research | General label for research on controlled thermonuclear fusion reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| zero energy thermonuclear assembly | <radiobiology> A British fusion device in which scientists observed fusion neutrons in 1958. They were erroneously considered to be thermonuclear (coming from particles with a Maxwellian velocity distribution) and were a cause for the initial optimism that fusion energy would be easy. They were actually due to electromagnetic acceleration during a plasma instability, an effect which cannot be scaled up to produce useful energy. (09 Oct 1997) |

|---|---|
| thermonuclear |
relating to or using nuclear reactions (for example fusion) that occur only at very high temperatures. In relation to weapons, they are weapons in which an explosive force is produced by a thermonuclear reaction.
