### title

FEASIBILITY OF FUSION POWER PLANTS BASED ON CONTROLLED NUCLEAR FUSION

### description

Introduction to the main aspects of fusion power plants and the underlying plasma physics. Key design considerations will be summarized related to fusion fuels, resources, plasma physics, plasma-facing materials, magnets, neutronics, shielding, tritium breeding blankets, structural materials, activation, radiation damage, neutral beams, wave heating  current drive, safety, and environmental concerns. Focus on magnetic confinement fusion and its near-term and longer-term prospects.
