Summary of the 29th IAEA fusion energy conference under the topics magnetic fusion experiments (EX) and innovative & alternative concepts (IAC)

Abstract

The paper provides a high level summary of the contributions given at the 29th International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Fusion Energy Conference (FEC 2023) London, United Kingdom, 16–21 October 2023 (available at: https://iaea.org/events/fec2023) under the categories “Magnetic Fusion Experiments including validation” (EX) and “Innovative Alternative Concepts” (IAC) covering linear configuration, non-magnetic configurations, fusion-fission hybrids concepts…. For the category EX, the summary is limited to three sub-categories Heating Current Drive (EX-H&CD), Waves (EX-W), Stability (EX-S). The experimental results reported in this publication cover the period since the previous 28th FEC, which was a virtual event held from 10th to 15th May 2021.
