An International Journal for Fusion Energy and Technology devoted to Experiments, Theory, Methods and Design



The journal accepts papers about experiments (both plasma and technology), theory, models, methods, and designs in areas relating to technology, engineering, and applied science aspects of magnetic and inertial fusion energy. Specific areas of interest include:

MFE and IFE design studies for experiments and reactors;
Fusion nuclear technologies and materials, including blankets, shields and divertor
Analysis of reactor plasmas
Plasma heating, fuelling, and vacuum systems
Drivers, targets, and special technologies for IFE
Controls and diagnostics
Fuel cycle analysis and tritium reprocessing and handling
Operations and remote maintenance of reactors
Safety, decommissioning, and waste management
Economic and environmental analysis of components and systems
