Fusion Reactors and Technology

Researchers in the Georgia Tech FRC in the assessment of the various materials and technologies that could be used in future fusion reactors and in the evaluation of the characteristics of future reactors as determined by the available materials, technologies and plasma physics advances. A particular interest was the development of low-activation structural materials for fusion.
