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.
