Summary: | This reference book provides a review of the physics of fusion energy, a discussion of the progress in the development of a commercial fusion reactor and an assessment of the viability of nuclear fusion as a component of our future energy mix. The level of the book is both accessible and informative, being aimed at upper-level undergraduate science and engineering students, as well as graduate students and professionals who are not specialists in the field but who want a scientifically based overview of nuclear fusion power. The book will fill the gap between lower-level books, which provide primarily descriptive treatments of nuclear fusion, and those intended for specialists.
|
Target Audience: | Upper undergraduate science and engineering students with an interest in nuclear physics or future energy production.
