Inside the DIII-D nuclear fusion reactor

Scientific American magazine takes a tour inside the DIII-D nuclear fusion reactor which is the largest magnetic fusion facility in the U.S.


DIII-D is the name of a tokamak machine developed in the 1980s by General Atomics in San Diego, USA, as part of the ongoing effort to achieve magnetically confined fusion. DIII-D pioneered new technology including the use of beams of neutral particles to penetrate the confinement field of the device and heat the plasma within.
