Fusion Reactor Materials

Fusion reactor materials are specially designed substances used in nuclear fusion reactors to contain and manage the extremely hot plasma where fusion occurs. These materials must withstand intense heat, neutron bombardment, and radiation without degrading. They play crucial roles in structural support, heat transfer, and containment of the plasma while ensuring safety and efficiency. As fusion aims to replicate the sun's energy production, developing robust materials is essential for achieving sustainable and clean energy through this process. Research in this area focuses on finding durable materials that can endure the harsh environment within a fusion reactor.
