New IAEA interactive map identifies fusion devices across the world - there are also COMPASS and COMPASS-U
The fusion team at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has introduced a worldwide tracking and information system for fusion devices, located within the IAEA's Fusion Portal.
The
Fusion Device Information System (FusDIS), developed and maintained by the IAEA,
focuses on experimental fusion research devices worldwide. FusDIS contains information on fusion
devices public or private that are currently in operation, under construction, closed or being
planned. All information is collected by the IAEA and undergoes a process of review involving the
International Fusion Research Council.
It currently lists 62 tokamaks, 12 stellarators/heliotrons, 7 laser fusion devices, and 31
innovative/alternate fusion concepts. There are also COMPASS and COMPASS-U.
