DOE awards $134M for fusion research and development
The Department of Energy announced on Wednesday that it has awarded $134 million in funding for two programs designed to secure U.S. leadership in emerging fusion technologies and innovation. The funding was awarded through the DOE’s Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program in the Office of Science and will support the next round of Fusion Innovation Research Engine (FIRE) collaboratives and the Innovation Network for Fusion Energy (INFUSE) awards.

The main aim of this paper is to discuss the influence of fractal dimensions on the behavior of the solutions of the Grad-Shafranov equation. Our study is based on the product-like fractal measure approach constructed by Li and Ostoja-Starzewski in their attempt to explore anisotropic fractal continuum media. The fractal Grad-Shafranov equation gives the possibility to analyze, in a toroidal fusion reactor, the plasma equilibrium in fractal dimensions. Examples of the exact equilibrium solution are given for both the vacuum case outside the plasma and the toroidally shaped spheromak.
