Fusion Reactors核融合反应堆
Reactors for nuclear fusion are of two main varieties, magnetic confinement reactors and inertial confinement reactors. The strategies for creating fusion reactors are largely dictated by the fact that the temperatures involved in nuclear fusion are far too high to be contained in any material container. 用于核融合的反应堆主要有两种类型，即磁约束反应堆和惯性约束反应堆。创造融合反应堆的策略主要由一个事实决定，即核融合所涉及的温度太高，无法被任何材料容器所容纳。
The strategy of the magnetic confinement reactor is to confine the hot plasma by means of magnetic fields which keep it perpetually in looping paths which do not touch the wall of the container. This is typified by the tokamak design, the most famous example of which is the TFTR at Princeton. 磁约束反应堆的策略是利用磁场将高温等离子体约束在不断循环的路径中，使其不接触容器壁。这种设计典型地体现在托卡马克装置中，其中最著名的例子是普林斯顿的TFTR装置。
The strategy of the inertial confinement reactor is to put such high energy density into a small pellet of deuterium-tritium that it fuses in such a short time that it can't move appreciably. The most advanced test reactors involve laser fusion, particularly in the Shiva and Nova reactors at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories. 惯性约束反应堆的策略是将如此高的能量密度注入一个小的氘-氚 pellet 中，使其在如此短的时间内发生融合，以至于无法显著移动。最先进的测试反应堆涉及激光融合，特别是在劳伦斯利弗莫尔实验室的Shiva和Nova反应堆中。
