Fusion energy: technological challenges
University of Rome “Tor Vergata” Via del Politecnico 1, 00133 Rome, Italy
Published online: 22 November 2022
This paper presents an overview of the main technological challenges of magnetic confinement fusion. Many of the challenges are being addressed in the context of the ITER construction and exploitation. Specifically, the demonstration of high-fusion gain regimes of operation will also provide a test of the technological solutions presently foreseen for the management of high heat and particle loads and the integration of the main technologies of a fusion power plant. In preparation of DEMO, reliable solutions for the breeding blanket and neutron resistant materials have to be developed.
