Japanese fusion program has three stages for realization of fusion energy, i.e. establishment of physics/engineering bases, fusion energy production and electricity production. We are in the stage of fusion energy production, where QST is contributing to the ITER project for the demonstration of 500 MW fusion energy production with Q=10. QST is also implementing the Broader Approach (BA)...
In response to a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) request for information in 2023, sixteen different concepts were submitted by the community for consideration as a fusion prototypic neutron source (FPNS). The proposed concepts vary greatly in approach, maturity, and the degree to which they accurately mimic a fusion energy system environment. To gain a...
