Computational Modeling for Fusion

This project makes advancements in the study of the reactor relevant plasma fuel mixture of deuterium-tritium, D-T. The team is strongly leading and supporting several experiments at the Joint European Torus where we have achieved two times the fusion energy world record. The assessment of the alpha role (Helium ashes), fast particles and plasma heating reported in this project is providing...

To implement the European Roadmap, in which theory and simulation play a strong role, it is crucial to further bring together the accumulated knowledge and expertise in these fields under a highly focused Theory, Simulation, Verification and Validation (TSVV) programme. Coordination is required that can integrate the world-class fusion science and engineering with emerging...

A Roadmap to the realization of fusion energy was adopted by the EFDA system at the end of 2012. The roadmap aims at achieving all the necessary know-how to start the construction of a demonstration power plant (DEMO) by 2030, in order to reach the goal of fusion electricity in the grid by 2050. The roadmap has been articulated in eight different Missions.
