Production distribution subscription fulfilment and marketing of nuclear fusion in print and electronic form are undertaken by iop publishing.

This 4 part paper details concepts and arguments in support of a non standard magnetic field model broadly outlined by the author in a 2 part paper published in the journal of nuclear physics jonp 2012 and titled proposed variation to faradays lines of force to include a magnetic dipole in its structure. The chinese fusion engineering testing reactor cfetr complementing the iter facility is aiming to demonstrate fusion energy production up to 200 mw initially and to eventually reach demo relevant power level 1 gw to manifest a high duty factor of 0305 and to pursue tritium self sufficiency with tritium breeding ratio tbr 1. A programme plan recently developed in the united states calls for progressively larger plasma confinement experiments to address these physics questions in line with a serious programme in fusion power engineering.
