Fusion basics
An introduction to nuclear fusion power, explaining plasma confinement and the use of tokamaks. From JET – Europe's largest nuclear fusion research facility.
Fusion Energy Educational Website
Uses text and colour images to explain the nuclear fusion process in stars and the current research into achieving controlled nuclear fusion.
The National Ignition Facility (NIF)
This site explains the science of laser driven nuclear fusion and explains how NIF's fundamental role in ongoing efforts to achieve self-sustaining nuclear fusion and energy gain in the laboratory.
What is the difference between nuclear fusion and cold fusion?
This is a clear explanation of cold fusion from physlink's Ask Experts page.
What is fusion?
Nuclear fusion energy explained simply, with lots of extra resources for students and teachers.
EFDA Jet
The European Fusion Development Agency site with detailed information about nuclear fusion in general and the JET project in particular
Fission and Fusion
Part of a nuclear reactor tour, this site gives a simplified explanation of nuclear energy.
Todd's Atomic Home Page
A site of useful links focusing on nuclear computing, nuclear engineering, fusion, reactors, weapons and waste issues.
ITER
Homepage of ITER, Europe's newest fusion reactor. ITER will hopefully demonstrate that nuclear fusion is a viable power source.
Coulomb Barrier
In order to accomplish nuclear fusion, the particles involved must first overcome the electric repulsion to get close enough for the attractive nuclear strong force to take over to fuse the particles.
