Tremendous advances have been made toward demonstrating the physics and technology required to develop magnetically confined deuterium‐tritium tokamak plasmas as an environmentally attractive energy source.
Stability and Transport Processes in Tokamak Plasmas
Physics Today 45 (1), 34–42 (1992);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881338
With the macroscopic behavior of tokamak plasmas now reasonably well understood, a major challenge is to develop the physics of plasma turbulence and of the particle and heat fluxes it induces.
