Fusion research at the Juelich research center

The Juelich Research Center participates in the international efforts made to achieve controlled nuclear fusion in close cooperation with the EURATOM associations with the neighboring countries of Belgium and the Netherlands by erecting in Juelich the TEXTOR tokamak, and by participating in other large experiments through close networking of research activities at various locations. The research program focuses on the plasma - wall interaction, energy confinement and the dissipation of energy and particles, and the dynamic ergodic divertor as a novel concept of optimizing the plasma - wall interaction.
