C'est une aventure singulière initiée dans les années 1950. Une communauté scientifique internationale, soutenue par les pouvoirs publics des nations les plus riches, s'est fixée pour objectif de réaliser la fusion d'éléments légers afin de contribuer à la production d'électricité. Quand ? Comment ? À quel prix ? Autant de questions aux réponses incertaines. Les bases physiques de la fusion nucléaire sont connues depuis longtemps. Elles ont conduit à de vastes programmes lancés vers 1970 dans deux directions : les tokamaks pour le confinement magnétique et les lasers multifaisceaux pour le confinement inertiel. Jusqu'aux étapes clés actuelles que sont ITER et les lasers mégajoule, les avancées ont été spectaculaires mais insuffisantes. Après plus d'un demi-siècle de recherches et de développement, la preuve n'est toujours pas apportée d'une énergie de fusion supérieure à l'énergie investie dans le fonctionnement du dispositif. Il faudra encore de longs délais avant d'envisager une exploitation industrielle, un autre demi-siècle peut-être ? Si d'autres recherches se poursuivent en marge, notamment sur les systèmes hybrides fusion-fission, le réacteur à fusion tel qu'on l'imagine en 2011 se situe dans le prolongement des deux grandes filières que sont les tokamaks et la voie inertielle par laser. L'avenir n'est pas écrit. La seule certitude est que si l'on parvient à maîtriser la fusion thermonucléaire, l'humanité disposera d'une ressource très abondante pour satisfaire sa demande d'énergie électrique, sans émission de gaz à effet de serre et avec une radioactivité posant moins de problèmes que celle de l'énergie de fission.

Magnetic Fusion Energy: From Experiments to Power Plants is a timely exploration of the field, giving readers an understanding of the experiments that brought us to the threshold of the ITER era, as well as the physics and technology research needed to take us beyond ITER to commercial fusion power plants. With the start of ITER construction, the world’s magnetic fusion energy (MFE) enterprise has begun a new era. The ITER scientific and technical (S&T) basis is the result of research on many fusion plasma physics experiments over a period of decades. Besides ITER, the scope of fusion research must be broadened to create the S&T basis for practical fusion power plants, systems that will continuously convert the energy released from a burning plasma to usable electricity, operating for years with only occasional interruptions for scheduled maintenance. Provides researchers in academia and industry with an authoritative overview of the significant fusion energy experiments Considers the pathway towards future development of magnetic fusion energy power plants Contains experts contributions from editors and others who are well known in the field

Plasma-Material Interaction in Controlled Fusion deals with the specific contact between the fourth state of matter, i.e. plasma, and the first state of matter, i.e. a solid wall, in controlled fusion experiments. A comprehensive analysis of the main processes of plasma-surface interaction is given together with an assessment of the most critical questions within the context of general criteria and operation limits. It is shown that the choice of plasma-facing materials is reduced to a very limited list of possible candidates. Plasma-Material Interaction in Controlled Fusion emphasizes that a reliable solution of the material problem can only be found by adjusting the materials to suitable plasma scenarios and vice versa.

Broken up in to three sections, this book gives a unified explanation of all the significant data on the Cold Fusion Phenomena to date. It presents a history of the Cold Fusion Phenomenon (CFP), gives the fundamental experimental results of the CFP and presents a quantum mechanical treatment of physical problems associated with cold fusion.* Overviews the abundance of research and investigation that followed the 'cold fusion scandal' in 1989.* Explores the fundamental science behind the original Fleischmann experiment

The science of magnetically confined plasmas covers the entire spectrum of physics from classical and relativistic electrodynamics to quantum mechanics. During the last sixty years of research, our initial primitive understanding of plasma physics has made impressive progress thanks to a variety of experiments - from tabletop devices with plasma temperatures of a few thousands of degrees and confinement times of less than 100 microseconds, to large tokamaks with plasma temperatures of up to five hundred million degrees and confinement times approaching one second. We discovered that plasma con
