Fusion Plasmas

Fusion Plasmas is a high-temperature, fully ionized plasma state in which atomic nuclei overcome electrostatic repulsion to undergo nuclear fusion, distinguished from other plasmas by its specific conditions of density, temperature, and confinement tailored to sustain exothermic fusion reactions.
