What these terms mean

Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.

Research institute: A public or non-profit research body. Frequently operates devices it did not commercially develop.
Operator: Runs a facility, which may have been built by someone else.
Fusion: Organizations pursuing energy from nuclear fusion, and their dedicated supply chain.
Tokamak › › Tokamak: Doughnut-shaped magnetic confinement using a strong toroidal field plus a current driven through the plasma itself. The most-studied configuration, and the one ITER uses.
