Sustainability in Civil Engineering

This article from Power magazine describes recent advances in fusion science that could lead to limitless supplies of clean energy in the next two decades.

Information on Britain's fusion energy program, including its Spherical Tokomak for Energy Production (STEP).

Describes the European Union's quest for fusion energy. The ITER fusion reactor is part of this program.

ITER is a 35-nation experimental project to construct the world's largest tokamak, a magnetic fusion device that has been designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as an energy source.

The seven papers in this issue validate the science behind MIT's SPARC project, which may prove the viability of fusion energy ten years earlier than expected.

This center studies the use of strong magnetic fields to confine plasma at the high temperatures and pressures required for practical fusion energy. It is also involved in the construction of the SPARC fusion reactor.

This facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory conducts research into lasers, photonics, and fusion energy.

Links to companies that plan to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion energy within the next few years.

Describes the effort to construct by 2025 a fusion reactor called SPARC at MIT.
