Abstract The China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) is the next device in the
roadmap for the realization of fusion energy in China, which aims to bridge the gaps …

This paper presents an overview of results from L–H transition experiments that were
performed at ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) with the aim of identifying the underlying mechanisms …

Demonstrating the production of net electricity and operating with a closed fuel-cycle remain
unarguably the crucial steps towards the exploitation of fusion power. These are the aims of …

Magnetic-fusion plasmas are complex self-organized systems with an extremely wide range
of spatial and temporal scales, from the electron-orbit scales (∼ 10− 11 s,∼ 10− 5 m) to the …

A future fusion reactor is expected to have all-metal plasma facing materials (PFMs) to
ensure low erosion rates, low tritium retention and stability against high neutron fluences. As …

One important objective of the EU fusion roadmap Horizon 2020 is to lay the foundation of a
Demonstration Fusion Power Reactor (DEMO) to follow ITER, with the capability of …

This paper describes the progress of the DEMO design and R&D activities in Europe. The
focus is on a systems engineering and design integration approach, which is recognized to …

Detachment of high power discharges is obtained in ASDEX Upgrade by simultaneous
feedback control of core radiation and divertor radiation or thermoelectric currents by the …

A fusion nuclear science facility (FNSF) could play an important role in the development of
fusion energy by providing the nuclear environment needed to develop fusion materials and …

A large scale program to develop a conceptual design for a demonstration fusion power
