FuseNet created their own educational modules for upper secondary schools. These modules can be found here and contain a general introduction to nuclear fusion.

The first module out of FuseNet's educational materials for secondary schools! The module is about fusion in general.

In module 2: Road to fusion, students discover the history of nuclear fusion and learn about the obstacles and challenges that have been overcome to reach the current state of the art in fusion.

In module 3: Plasma control, students learn about the basics of control theory, and how this is applied to fusion, with a special focus on controlling the plasma temperature.

Module 4 introduces the challenges behind the choice of materials to build a nuclear fusion reactor. The focus of this module is on two topics: 1) heat exhaust and plasma-facing materials, 2) neutron irradiation and materials for the blanket.

In module 5, students have a look at the changing energy landscape: where does the electricity of the future come from? Fusion might be a contender. Its advantages, disadvantages and costs are discussed and we look to the future steps for fusion energy.
