IAEA 2012 - Twenty-Fourth IAEA Fusion Energy Conference

With a number of next step fusion devices being implemented, such as inter alia the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER, Cadarache, France) and the National Ignition Facility (NIF, Livermore, USA), and the need to demonstrate the technological feasibility of fusion power plants together with the economical viability of fusion energy production, the fusion community is now facing new challenges. The resolution of these challenges will dictate research orientations in the present and coming decades.
TOPICS
? OV Overviews
? EX Magnetic Confinement Experiments (subtopics see Annex A)
? TH Magnetic Confinement Theory and Modelling (subtopics see Annex A)
? ITR ITER Activities
