PRINCIPLES OF FUSION ENERGY AN INTRODUCTION TO ...

This textbook accommodates the two divergent developmental paths which have become solidly
established in the field of fusion energy: the process of sequential tokamak development toward
a prototype and the need for a more fundamental and integrative research approach before costly
design choices are made.Emphasis is placed on the development of physically coherent and
mathematically clear characterizations of the scientific and technological foundations of
fusion energy which are specifically suitable for a first course on the subject. Of interest 
therefore  are selected aspects of nuclear physics  electromagnetics  plasma physics  reaction
dynamics  materials science  and engineering systems  all brought together to form an
integrated perspective on nuclear fusion and its practical utilization.The book identifies
several distinct themes. The first is concerned with preliminary and introductory topics which
relate to the basic and relevant physical processes associated with nuclear fusion. Then  the
authors undertake an analysis of magnetically confined  inertially confined  and
low-temperature fusion energy concepts. Subsequently  they introduce the important blanket
domains surrounding the fusion core and discuss synergetic fusion-fission systems. Finally 
they consider selected conceptual and technological subjects germane to the continuing
development of fusion energy systems.
