Fusion Reactor Design: Plasma Physics, Fuel Cycle System, Operation and Maintenance

Provides a detailed overview of fusion reactor design, written by an international leader in the field

Nuclear fusion—generating four times as much energy from the same mass of fuel as nuclear fission—is regarded by its proponents as a viable, eco-friendly alternative to gas-fired, coal-fired, and conventional power plants. Although the physics of nuclear fusion is essentially understood, the construction of prototype reactors currently presents significant technical ...
