Recent progress in tokamak experiments

Masanori Murakami and Harold P. Eubank
OpenURL
Show Topic
Plasmas confined by magnetic fields in a toroidal geometry can reach confinement times, densities and temperatures approaching those needed for producing useful fusion energy.

Alternate concepts in magnetic fusion

Francis F. Chen
OpenURL
Show Topic
Despite the success of the tokamak for plasma confinement, the alternative magnetic configurations are still in the running for commercial fusion reactor development.

The fusion hybrid

Hans A. Bethe
OpenURL
Show Topic
Using fusion reactions for breeding fissile materials in addition to producing electric power may provide us with a safe and economic way to extend our energy resources.

Diagnostics for fusion experiments

Charles B. Wharton
OpenURL
Show Topic
Elaborate measurements are needed to document the power balance in fusion plasmas. The new era of experiments above “breakeven” will require diagnostic techniques as yet undeveloped.
