Fusion Links
Many laboratories and universities are carrying out research that is important to controlled fusion. Besides the work by VNL members and collaborators, there is a substantial European program on heavy-ion fusion, as well as major projects on laser-driven fusion in the US and France. In addition, development of magnetically confined fusion continues in parallel to the inertial-fusion programs. The following list of Web links includes the principal organizations contributing to each area, but it is not intended to be comprehensive.
