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.

Supplier
Supplies components, materials or fuel to the sector without developing a reactor or device of its own.
Supply chain
Components, materials, instrumentation and services sold into fusion or fission programmes.
Fusion
Organizations pursuing energy from nuclear fusion, and their dedicated supply chain.
