Burning Plasma
Significant advances have been made in fusion science, and a point has been reachedwhen we need to decide if the United States is ready to begin a burning plasmaexperiment. A burning plasma—in which at least 50 percent of the energy to drivethe fusion reaction is generated internally—is an essential step to reach the goal offusion power generation.
