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 ...
