Nuclear fusion
Description
The advantages of nuclear fusion as an energy source and research progress in this area are summarized. The current state of the art is described. Laser fusion, inertial confinement fusion, and magnetic fusion (the tokamak) are explained, the latter in some detail. Remaining problems and planned future reactors are considered. They are the compact ignition tokamak (CIT), the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER), and TIBER II. The design of the latter is shown
