A huge global increase in energy use is inevitable, so there is an urgent need to seek cleaner ways of producing energy on large scales. Fusion is the energy source of the universe and a promising way to fulfill energy needs of mankind for many centuries to come. It offers important advantages as a safe, sustainable, and environmentally friendly source of energy. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) aims to demonstrate magnetic fusion is an energy source of the future. The goal of ITER is to produce 500 MW of fusion power given 50 MW of input power—or ten times …
