FUSION REACTORS

**Definition:** This place covers:

Reactors in which energy release is caused by the controlled fusion of atomic nuclei, namely:

Thermonuclear fusion reactors.

Low-temperature nuclear fusion reactors, e.g. alleged cold fusion reactors.

**Limiting references (this place does not cover):** - Uncontrollable fusion reactions; applications thereof -> G21J

**Glossary:** - Confinement: Controlled compression of fusion nuclei to overcome their electrostatic repulsion. - Fusion: Combination of two or more nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, a by-product of which is the release of energy. - Thermonuclear: Relating to fusion at high temperatures.
