What is the state of fusion?
Description
Although much progress has been made in recent decades in many areas of fusion research, especially with regard to the behaviour of plasmas, the desired triple product has not yet been achieved. The fusion reactor ITER aims to produce 10 times more power than is needed to start the process. If in the near future (which is after ITER) higher-temperature superconductors can be used for the magnetic coils, the strength of the magnetic fields can be increased.
In addition to a general introduction to fusion, the one-hour lecture will cover aspects related to the construction and production of components for ITER
