SOFE - Symposium on Fusion Engineering

This conference covers engineering and scientific advances in both inertial confinement and magnetic confinement fusion, with attendees from major fusion energy research centers worldwide. Plenary sessions typically report on the status of the program and results from the major experimental facilities while the technical sessions cover a wide range of technologies associated with fusion research including reactor design, plasma facing components, plasma material interactions, plasma diagnostics, safety and environment, plasma control systems, magnets and electromagnetic systems, and more. The conference is usually accompanied by commercial exhibits and short courses on fusion topical areas. The SOFE conference proceedings are considered to be a principal source of technical data in this field.
