New Fusion Technology textbook in preparation
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_original","fid":"920","attributes":{"class":"media-image","id":"2","typeof":"foaf:Image"}}]]
A new top quality master-level textbook on fusion technology is being written in a collaboration of several FuseNet partners, coordinated by prof. Guido van Oost with support of FuseNet. The new book is being prepared, based on a detailed plan established by an Editorial Board and expected to become available in 2014.
Given the fast evolution in the broad field of fusion technology in view of ITER and DEMO, the fusion education community could use such textbook which will be suitable as lecture material and will be disseminated on large scale via IAEA.
