Overview
The main objective of the optimized stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is the demonstration of steady-state plasma operation at fusion relevant plasma parameters thereby verifying that the stellarator is a viable fusion power plant concept. The design of W7-X is based on an elaborate optimization procedure to overcome the shortcomings of the concept. After completing the main construction...

Overview
Ignition and significant fusion yield from Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) remains a grand scientific challenge. The ICF community in the US, together with international collaborators is executing a coordinated effort exploring 3 approaches to ignition each with different risks and advantages: laser driven x-ray drive, laser direct drive, and magnetic direct drive. This talk presents the...

Overview
The JT-60SA project has been promoted since June 2007 under the framework of the Broader Approach (BA) agreement and Japanese national fusion programme for an early realization of fusion energy by conducting supportive and complementary work for the ITER project and directing DEMO design activity. With the powerful and varied deposition profile of heating and current drive system, flexible...

Overview
The Chinese Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor (CFETR) is the next device for the Chinese magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) program which aims to bridge the gaps between the fusion experiment ITER and the demonstration reactor DEMO. CFETR will be operated in two phases: Steady-state operation and tritium self-sustainment will be the two key issues for the first phase with a modest fusion power...
