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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology,$x2191-5318 606 $aNuclear fusion 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aMathematics 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aNuclear Fusion 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 606 $aMathematics in the Humanities and Social Sciences 606 $aScience and Technology Studies 615 0$aNuclear fusion. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 14$aNuclear Fusion. 615 24$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aMathematics in the Humanities and Social Sciences. 615 24$aScience and Technology Studies. 676 $a530.44 676 $a539.764 700 $aDodgson$b Mark$0147676 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911057017403321 996 $aThe Search for Viable Fusion Energy$94531652 997 $aUNINA
