On Earth, researchers create fusion in facilities like tokamaks, which control the hot plasma with magnetic fields.

For magnetic fusion energy to fuel future power plants, scientists must find ways to control the interactions that take place between the volatile edge of the plasma and the walls that surround it in fusion facilities.

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.

Stellarators are fusion facilities that confine plasma in twisty magnetic fields, compared with the symmetrical fields that tokamaks use.

He headed the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor, then the largest magnetic confinement fusion facility in the U.S., from 1991 to 1997.

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».
