This journey has not been smooth, and significant challenges remain, yet the existential need to produce non-carbon-producing forms of energy is so profound that governments and firms around the world are rapidly increasing their investments in this new kind of energy production. Fusion energy holds the possibility of providing unlimited, sustainable power, and this book tells the story of its history and development, and its current progress as it moves from research to commercial production. It is a story of the importance of basic research and the challenges of turning it into commercial use. Fusion energy has progressed from the thinking of great scientists, such as Curie and Einstein, to the problems faced by engineers of designing and building machines that operate at temperatures ten times hotter than the centre of the Sun. Fusion energy is a story of humanity at its best, of scientists, engineers, policymakers, and businesspeople working together and driven to solve a problem that threatens humankind’s existence as we know it.SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,2191-5318Nuclear fusionEnergy policyEnergy policyMathematicsSocial sciencesScienceSocial aspectsNuclear FusionEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementMathematics in the Humanities and Social SciencesScience and Technology StudiesNuclear fusion.Energy policy.Energy policy.Mathematics.Social sciences.ScienceSocial aspects.Nuclear Fusion.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Mathematics in the Humanities and Social Sciences.Science and Technology Studies.530.44539.764Dodgson Mark147676MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911057017403321The Search for Viable Fusion Energy4531652UNINA
