Lecture
This lecture covers the concepts of heating and burning plasmas, focusing on the ITER project and the path towards a fusion power plant. It discusses various methods of plasma heating, such as neutral beam injection and electromagnetic waves, along with the challenges and advantages of each method. The lecture also delves into the specifics of tritium, its production, and the importance of tritium self-sufficiency in fusion reactors. Additionally, it explores the design goals of ITER, the construction progress, and the future prospects beyond ITER with the DEMO project.
