- 📍 Venue: Cambridge University Engineering Department, Lecture Room 6
Abstract
Fusion appears to be scientifically possible. JET at Cuham has produced 16MW of fusion power and ITER , which is being constructed in France, is expected to produce about 500MW of fusion power. However the engineering challenges of a reactor system are formidable. I will discuss the major issues that must be resolved and the possible solutions.
