Not exact matches

On the other hand, in magnetic field confinement fusion plasma intended for a fusion reactor, which research is being conducted at the National Institute for Fusion Science, development of high precision electron density measurements is becoming an important research topic.

The collaboration will study fusion in a relatively unexplored intermediate density regime between the lower - than - air density of magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) that is studied at the ITER project in southern France, and the greater - than - solid density of laser - driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) at the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

There are two approaches to fusion energy, inertial confinement (the National Ignition Facility or NIF at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, for example) and magnetic confinement (the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor or ITER, for example).

Two major fusion research reactors are being built over the next decade — the international ITER magnetic confinement reactor (for $ 5 to 10 billion) and the US National Ignition Facility (NIF — $ 2 to 5 billion) to study «inertial confinement».
