Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

Proving DRACO will deliver
The United States is now closer than it has been in over five decades to launching the first nuclear thermal rocket into space, thanks to DRACO—the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Orbit.

We inspect the loss cone effect on the power coupling in the previously developed radio frequency(RF)-heating model1 for Hanbit magnetic mirror device. The plasma conductivity tensor is expressed by the mirror ratio and anisotropy factors and the dependence of these loss cone parameters on the plasma resistance is presented as the result of numerical calculations in Hanbit discharge conditions.
