Commercialising Fusion Energy (EPUB) von David Webbe-Wood

This edited book provides an overview of the commercialisation of fusion energy technology, giving emphasis to the emerging role of private sector entities. The editors believe there is a need for a good overview of a complex phenomenon that has the potential to transform fusion energy research after decades of leadership by governmental and inter-governmental efforts. The book addresses not only the science and technology of fusion commercialisation, but also the associated innovation management.
