Funded Activity Summary

Towards a steady-state fusion reactor: understanding and controlling eruptive instabilities in tokamaks. The lifetime of future fusion reactors may be severely compromised by periodic releases of internal energy which can damage the reactor walls. In an international research effort that is based on unique Australian optical technologies, the project aims to resolve some of the key issues that should allow these instabilities to be suppressed.
