Our modern society requires environmentally friendly solutions for energy production.
Energy can be released not only from the fission of heavy nuclei but also from the fusion of …

The European roadmap to the realization of fusion electricity breaks the quest into eight
missions. For each mission, it reviews the current status of research, identifies open issues …

A heuristic model for the plasma scrape-off width in low-gas-puff tokamak H-mode plasmas
is introduced. Grad B and curv B drifts into the scrape-off layer (SOL) are balanced against …

The divertor of a tokamak reactor will have to satisfy a number of critical constraints, the first
of which is that the divertor targets not fail due to excessive heating or sputter-erosion. This …

The basic physics of the processes playing the most important role in divertor plasma
detachment is reviewed. The models used in the two-dimensional edge plasma transport …

A new lower tungsten divertor has been developed and installed in the EAST
superconducting tokamak to replace the previous graphite divertor with power handling …

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 …

The spherical tokamak (ST) is a leading candidate for a Fusion Nuclear Science Facility
(FNSF) due to its compact size and modular configuration. The National Spherical Torus …

Divertor detachment is explored on the TCV tokamak in alternative magnetic geometries.
Starting from typical TCV single-null shapes, the poloidal flux expansion at the outer …

The ARC pilot plant conceptual design study has been extended beyond its initial scope [BN
Sorbom et al., FED 100 (2015) 378] to explore options for managing∼ 525 MW of fusion …
