FusDIS

FusDIS-logo.PNG 
The Fusion Device Information System (FusDIS), developed and maintained by the IAEA, focuses on fusion devices worldwide. FusDIS contains information on fusion devices public or private with experimental and plant designs, which are currently in operation, under construction or being planned, as well as technical data of these devices and country statistics, including research statistics from the Fusion Energy Conference series. All information is collected by the IAEA and undergoes a process of review involving the International Fusion Research Council. 

About FusDIS


The devices are organized in 4 main configuration categories: 

  • Tokamaks - both conventional and spherical type
  • Stellarators and Heliotrons
  • Laser/Inertial
  • Alternative Concepts - this category includes the following types: dense plasma focus; field reversed configuration; inertial electrostatic fusion; levitated dipole; magnetic mirror machine; magnetized target fusion; pinch; ​reverse field pinch; simple magnetized torus; space propulsor; spheromak.
For each device, the info below can be visualized by hovering the cursor over the device marker:

  • Country
  • Organization
  • Device Name
  • Device Configuration
  • Device Type
  • Device Status (operating; under construction; planned)
  • Design (exp - exerimental; plant)
  • Ownership (public; private)
  • Website (each website can be launched by clicking on the device marker).

The statistics provided can be used as filters. It is also possible to filter per country by choosing each country from the tables. 

In addition, the following dashboards are available:

  • Tech Data: 0D design parameters of tokamaks and stellarators/heliotrons in operation, under construction or planned​, with experimental and plant ​designs​.
  • Country Stats: Number of fusion devices per country, per design, status and configuration.
  • Org Stats: Number of fusion devices per organization, per design, status and configuration.
  • FEC2023 IDX: Number of first authorship papers submitted at FEC2023 per country and per track. Categories are: EX - Magnetic Fusion Experiments; TH - Magnetic Fusion Theory and Modelling; TECH - Fusion Energy Technology; IFE - Inertial Fusion Energy; IAC - Innovative and Alternative Fusion Concepts; PWF - Pathways to Fusion​OV - Overview.
  • FECs IDX: Number of first authorship papers submitted at FEC2006–2023​ per country and per track; and total number of papers per FEC and per track. Categories are: EX - Magnetic Fusion Experiments; TH - Magnetic Fusion Theory and Modelling; TECH - Fusion Energy Technology; IFE - Inertial Fusion Energy; IAC - Innovative and Alternative Fusion Concepts; PWF - Pathways to Fusion​OV - Overview.
  • Country Profiles:  Detailed information on each country (by ​using the filter).
