Summaries of special research project on nuclear fusion, 1983

This is the report of the research project titled ''Nuclear Fusion'' supported by the gran-in-aid for fusion research from the Ministry of Education Science and Culture for the fiscal year 1983. The following 18 subjects are included in this research project. Group 1: Reactor materials and plasma-wall interactions, 1) heavy interaction irradiation effects, 2) plasma-wall interactions, 3) compatibility of non-metal materials including ceramics. Group 2: Science, technology and biological effects of tritium, 1) science and technology of tritium, 2) dynamics of tritium in environment, 3) biological effects of tritium. Group 3: Fundamentals of reactor plasma control, 1) diagnostics of high-temperature plasma, 2) fundamentals of implosion engineering for inertial confinement, 3) fundamentals of plasma heating, 4) physics of new schemes for plasma confinement. Group 4: Technology of superconducting magnet, 1) superconducting magnet materials, 2) fundamental phenomena of superconductivity, 3) magnet technology. Group 5: Fusion reactor blanket engineering, 1) fusion neutronics, 2) heat transfer, fluid dynamics and structural engineering. Group 6: Design and evaluation of fusion reactor, 1) system design, 2) technological assessment of fusion energy, 3) fusion theory. In this report, the summaries of the researchers on these subjects are collected
