The ultimate aim of the ongoing research effort into thermonuclear fusion is to bring processes similar to those that keep stars alight down to the scale of a power station. At fixed ”burned” mass, thermonuclear fusion produces approximately ten mil- lion times more energy than that produced by chemical reactions. Thermonu- clear fusion can thus be expected to provide, on a time scale of a few...

This can be seen in the recent reports by IAEA and by changing attitudes towards nuclear energy in EU. There are some recent proposals by IEA and NEA for considerable intensification of nuclear energy development to 1200 GW by 2050. However,...
