Abstract
The state of research on controlled thermonuclear synthesis by means of tokamaktype units is discussed. Characteristics are presented for tokamak thermonuclear units in operation and under construction, including the INTOR demonstration fusion reactor. Problems associated with the development of individual fusion-reactor systems are considered: the electromagnetic system, the electric power-supply system, the vacuum tritium system, and the discharge chamber.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
