Thermonuclear Fusion - the Future of Energetics
Abstract
The future of thermonuclear fusion in global energy production is presented in the paper. The phenomena of fusion is described
and it is shown how the fusion can be conducted on tokamak devices. The state and prospects of development of the fusion reactor based
on the tokamak-type systems are presented. In summary, major advantages and disadvantages of this method of energy production has
been discussed.
