Enabling Technologies for Fusion Energy via unique Infrastructures
Turning fusion energy into a usable power source requires far more than successful plasma experiments. Technologies at the level of materials and components must be conceived, tested, and qualified under fusion-relevant conditions.
To meet this challenge, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology operates world-leading infrastructures that connect fundamental physics with the technologies of a reliable and safe fusion power plant.
Explore why these infrastructures are indispensable for making fusion energy usable.
