EUROfusion - Realising Fusion Energy
This work has been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium, funded by the European Union via the Euratom Research and Training Programme (Grant Agreement No 101052200 — EUROfusion). Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily ...
Training and Education - EUROfusion
Training and Education by EUROfusion. The implementation of the Fusion Roadmap requires a new generation of scientists and engineers. There is still much to tackle on the scientific understanding of plasmas, materials and interaction.
The EUROfusion Programme - EUROfusion
The EUROfusion programme is based on the Roadmap to the Realisation of Fusion Energy. The programme has two main pillars: Preparing for ITER experiments; Developing a concept for the future demonstration fusion power plant DEMO; Twenty-eight of the European consortium members, receive funding from Euratom for fusion projects in accordance with their participation in the missions and ...
About EUROfusion - EUROfusion
Mission EUROfusion's mission is to pave the way for fusion power reactors. To do so, the consortium funds the research at 28 of its members (in 26 EU member states) on the basis of the "European Roadmap to the Realisation of Fusion Energy" as a joint programme within Euratom Horizon Europe.
Roadmap - EUROfusion
The EUROfusion roadmap forms the basis for the programme of EUROfusion and provides a clear and structured way forward to commercial energy from fusion.
Fusion on Earth - EUROfusion
The tokamak. The most advanced and best investigated fusion device design available today is the tokamak.Tokamak is a Russian acronym for the term Тороидальная Камера с Магнитными Катушками meaning a torus-shaped vacuum chamber surrounded by magnetic coils, which create a toroidal magnetic field. The largest operating tokamak today is EUROfusion’s ...
JET - EUROfusion
The Joint European Torus (JET), the heart of global fusion research at the UKAEA campus in Culham, UK, has concluded its operational journey with pulse number 105,842 on 18 December 2023. This final pulse marks a significant milestone, coming over four decades after JET’s inception. Managed by EUROfusion and supported by a vast network of over 31 European laboratories, JET has been ...
What is Fusion? - EUROfusion
Nuclei of lighter atoms such as hydrogen collide and fuse to produce nuclei of heavier atoms such as helium and release vast amounts of energy in the process —this is the essence of fusion. Because the energy is derived from the action of nuclei, fusion is a form of nuclear energy. It may be considered the opposite of fission, also a form of nuclear energy, which is …
Fusion fuel mix could stabilise burning plasma - EUROfusion
Sep 19, 2024 · Fusion energy promises to deliver safe, sustainable, and low-carbon baseload power, complementing other clean energy sources like solar and wind.. To reach optimal performance, fusion researchers need to manage unwanted turbulence in the hot plasma inside their tokamak machines. One important question is what happens when the fusion process starts releasing fast, heavy helium ions (alpha ...
