The Quest for a Fusion Energy Reactor by Weston Stacey
Based on the journal of one of the principal participants, this book provides a history of the IAEA INTOR Workshop (1978-88) during which hundreds of fusion scientists and engineers collaborated to define an experimental fusion energy reactor. The INTOR Workshop led to the present international ITER project, a collaborative effort to construct the first fusion energy reactor.
"..highly recommend this book to all those involved in fusion research, administration, and policy. It is well written, in an engaging style, while also being unusually candid and thorough. Well-done and thanks, Bill Stacey." -- 21st Century Science & Technology Listed in the New Books Section of Physics Today Aug 2010 Listed in Science Book News
