electromagnetic containment

Electromagnetic containment refers to the use of electromagnetic fields to safely contain or control radiation, such as in nuclear facilities or particle accelerators. These fields create a barrier that keeps high-energy particles or radiation within a designated area, preventing it from escaping into the environment. By precisely shaping and controlling these fields, engineers can protect people and equipment from harmful exposure while allowing productive use of the technology. It's a sophisticated method that relies on physics principles to ensure safety and containment without physical barriers, leveraging electricity and magnetism to contain potentially dangerous energy sources.
