| Fusion |
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has a large fusion plasma physics
program operated by an informal collaboration of the departments of
nuclear engineering and engineering physics, physics, and electrical
and computer engineering. The experimental program in each department
has a different focus. Physics operates the MST reversed-field pinch;
electrical and computer engineering is constructing an advanced
stellarator; and nuclear engineering and engineering physics focuses
on the tokamak and fusion reactor engineering studies. Between the
three departments there are about a dozen professors involved in
fusion plasma physics, plus others in fusion reactor
engineering. Collectively, this is one of the largest university
fusion programs in the U.S. Graduate level plasma physics courses are
cross-listed between the three departments and taught on a rotating
basis. Faculty and graduate students collaborate across departmental
lines. Following are descriptions of the areas in which nuclear
engineering and engineering physics faculty and students are
involved.
