Nuclear Fusion Technology
The groups has been active in research activities on nuclear fusion systems since more than 20 years. The focus of the studies, starting from the thermal-fluid-dynamics of superconducting magnets, has progressively expanded including the main component constituting the fusion reactor, in a multiphysics framework. More recently, an additional effort in the risk assessment of this concepts has been started with promising results.
