* Item Description
- Quest for a Fusion Energy Reactor : An Insider's Account of the INTOR Workshop, Hardcover by Stacey, Weston M., ISBN 0199733848, ISBN-13 9780199733842, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
This volume is derived largely from Stacey's private notes during his long term as vice chairman of the INternational TOkamak Reactor Workshop. He provides an insider's view of the administrative and organizational history with politics and a bit of technical detail of the frustrating attempts to extract power from nuclear fusion. Lucid coverage of a little-explicated aspect of the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Readily accessible to the lay reader. Stacey (and many faithful colleagues) remain optimistic that fusion is the future of earth' energy though it's been pursued for some 60 years with only the briefest bursts of output in excess of input. We pray they deliver more to an impoverishing world than the alchemists did. A vital addition to any nuclear engineering/history of science collection.
