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.
Stellarator › › Stellarator: Confinement produced entirely by external coils twisted into complex three-dimensional shapes, with no current driven through the plasma. Far harder to build than a tokamak and inherently steady-state rather than pulsed.
