Progress in the development of fusion energy has gained momentum in recent years.
However, questions remain across key subject areas that will affect the path to commercial …

Tokamaks have demonstrated excellent plasma confinement capability because of their
symmetry but has an intrinsic drawback because of their pulsed inductive operation. Efforts …

Abstract The MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center and collaborators are proposing a high-
performance Advanced Divertor and RF tokamak eXperiment (ADX)—a tokamak specifically …

The JT-60SA project implemented by Japan and Europe is progressing on schedule
