A collaborative platform for research and development for fusion power plants

The design and optimization of fusion power plants will heavily rely on advanced predictive modeling tools. The objective of this project is to establish a platform for fusion energy research in Sweden that will further develop and validate modeling tools necessary for power plant design and their integration into state-of-the-art modeling suites. The focus of the project is on integrated models for the core and edge plasma, and the wall; areas where Swedish researchers possess extensive expertise.

The proposal builds on development of models, and machine learning from experiments performed by the Swedish research groups at major European fusion research facilities and from accelerator-based materials analysis and modification at the Tandem Laboratory.

The proposed platform will promote research collaborations, organize seminars, and doctoral education providing comprehensive training in fusion R&D to educate the next generation of experts in fusion power plants for both the private and public sectors.
