    Summary

    Description

    MAGNETIC FUSION ENERGY CONCEPT.

    FUSION IS THE POWER SOURCE OF THE SUN AND STARS. IT OCCURS WHEN FORMS OF THE LIGHTEST ATOM, HYDROGEN, COMBINE TO MAKE HELIUM IN A VERY HOT (100 MILLION DEGREE CENTIGRADE) IONIZED GAS, OR PLASMA. MAGNETIC FUSION ENERGY IS PRODUCED WHEN THE PLASMA IS CONFINED BY A MAGNETIC FIELD AND HELD AT THE REQUIRED DENSITY AND TEMPERATURE. INERTIAL FUSION ENERGY IS ANOTHER APPROACH TO FUSION ENERGY. DOE'S FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES PROGRAM LEADS THE NATION'S EFFORT IN THE STUDY OF PLASMA, THE FOURTH STATE OF MATTER, WHICH CONSTITUTES MOST OF THE VISIBLE UNIVERSE, AND IS AT THE CORE OF A FUSION POWER SYSTEM.
