Description
This textbook provides an introduction to fusion energy for students of science and engineering. It addresses two main approaches in the field: sequential tokamak development and fundamental research, aiming to provide a coherent understanding of the scientific and technological foundations of fusion energy. The book covers various aspects of nuclear physics, electromagnetics, plasma physics, reaction dynamics, materials science, and engineering systems, offering an integrated perspective on nuclear fusion. It explores topics such as preliminary processes associated with nuclear fusion, magnetically confined, inertially confined, and low-temperature fusion energy concepts, blanket domains surrounding the fusion core, and synergetic fusion-fission systems. By covering these themes, the book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of fusion energy systems, essential for students and professionals in the field.
