Fundamentals of Magnetic Thermonuclear Reactor Design is a comprehensive resource on fusion technology and energy systems written by renowned scientists and engineers from the Russian nuclear industry. It brings together a wealth of invaluable experience and knowledge on controlled thermonuclear fusion (CTF) facilities with magnetic plasma confinement ? from the first semi-commercial tokamak T-3, to the multi-billion international experimental thermonuclear reactor ITER, now in construction in France. As the INTOR and ITER projects have made an immense contribution in the past few decades, this book focuses on its practical engineering aspects and the basics of technical physics and electrical engineering.
Users will gain an understanding of the key ratios between plasma and technical parameters, design streamlining algorithms and engineering solutions.

Dr. Filatov graduation from Leningrad Polytechnic Institute with an Engineering Physics diploma in Thermal Physics, before joining the D.V. Efremov Scientific Research Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus (Efremov Institute) as an engineer. He was shortly promoted to Senior Research Fellow and was the Efremov Institute Director General between 2003 and 2016. Dr. Filatov is currently Scientific Supervisor at the Efremov Institute and is a member of the A.M. Prokhorov Academy of Engineering Sciences. He lead the Russian member team of the ITER international project and has received various awards such as the S. Rose diploma of honour in1992, and the Russian Federation awards: the Medal of the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland, the “Academician I.V. Kurchatov third class medal, the I.V. Kurchatov gold medal and D.V. Efremov prize.
