Focus On

The aim of these pages is to provide you with detailed information on selected topics of relevance to JET. Nuclear fusion research is a world of challenges. This is particularly true for magnetic confinement fusion research. The problems which occur cover a diversity of physics and engineering areas. Many have now been resolved but some still remain to be tackled.

This section will give you insights into both the issues which, to a certain extent, have already been resolved, and also into the challenges still to be faced. You will encounter the amazing variety of fusion-related topics and the enormous spectrum of orders of magnitude scientists and engineers have to deal with.
