Fusion R&D by technology. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is furthering multiple technologies beneficial to the U.S. fusion industry and the development of fusion energy. Published content on these areas can be found at the DOE Office of Scientific and Technology Information (OSTI):
- Tools and strategies for plasma control and performance
- Superconducting magnet technologies
- Radiation transport analysis
- High-powered plasma heating
- Continuous plasma fueling
- Fusion materials
- Fusion power handling
- Tritium processing
- Vacuum technology
- Remote handling technology
- Diagnostics for extreme environments
ITER research publications. The ITER Project generates a wide range of information of interest to other fusion efforts. In recognition of the information’s value to private companies, universities, and laboratories, the DOE Office of Science (Fusion Energy Sciences) has tasked the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Fusion Energy Division to support dissemination of information and intellectual property generated by US ITER. To request technical information generated by the ITER Project, fill out the form provided by the ORNL Fusion Energy Division at iterinfo.ornl.gov. (Please note that the US ITER Project does not manage requests for technical information.)
