WHAT DOES FUSION REACTOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fusion reactor

Fusion power

Fusion power is the energy generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions, two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. In doing so they release a comparatively large amount of energy arising from the binding energy due to the strong nuclear force which is manifested as an increase in temperature of the reactants. Fusion power is a primary area of research in plasma physics. The term is commonly used to refer to potential commercial production of net usable power from a fusion source, similar to the usage of the term "steam power". The leading designs for controlled fusion research use magnetic or inertial confinement of a plasma. Both approaches are still under development and are years away from commercial operation in which heat from the fusion reaction is used to operate a steam turbine which drives electrical generators, as in existing fossil fuel and nuclear fission power stations.

Definition of fusion reactor in the English dictionary
