Build the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor?

Andrew M. Sessler, Thomas H. Stix, and Marshall N. Rosenbluth
OpenURL
Show Topic
[A centerpiece of almost any discussion about the future of magnetic fusion is the proposed International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). PHYSICS TODAY invited Thomas Stix and A ndrew Sessler to present their cases against continuation of the ITER project, and Marshall Rosenbluth to reply. The debate doses with a brief rebuttal by Stix and Sessler. The views of the authors are not necessarily those of their employers. A glossary of fusion terms is provided on page 24.]
