Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A rigorous guide to the science, engineering, and practical realities of fusion energy. This book brings together the core physics behind nuclear fusion and the design challenges that shape today's leading reactor concepts. It is written for readers who want more than a general overview, offering a structured path from fundamental reaction physics to the hardware, diagnostics, and fuel cycle systems required for a working power plant.Beginning with the basics of binding energy, plasma behavior, and reaction rates, the book builds a clear foundation for understanding why fusion is difficult and why it remains so promising. It then moves into the central performance ideas used in the field, including the Lawson criterion, triple product, confinement time, and gain metrics, showing how scientists and engineers judge progress toward practical energy production.What the book coversFundamental fusion reactions, plasma states, and energy releasePlasma physics essentials, including transport, collisions, and magnetic behaviorTokamaks and stellarators, with attention to geometry, current drive, and steady operationInertial confinement concepts, target physics, compression, and instability controlHeating methods, power coupling, turbulence, stability, and disruption mitigationMaterials damage, neutron effects, tritium breeding, and blanket engineeringDiagnostics, data acquisition, and experimental validation methodsThe engineering chapters are especially useful for readers interested in how fusion systems are actually built and operated. Topics include magnetic confinement design, auxiliary heating, plasma control, wall loading, radiation damage, activation, and the demands of a closed fuel cycle. The result is a balanced treatment that connects theory to the constraints of real devices.Ideal for students, researchers, engineers, and technically curious readers, this volume explains why fusion reactor development depends on both scientific insight and large-scale systems integration. It is a practical reference for anyone seeking a serious, well-organized understanding of the path toward fusion energy. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
