Research Needs for Magnetic Fusion Energy Sciences - US Burning ...

COMMunity WHitE PaPERS
during the period leading up to the June workshop in bethesda, the magnetic fusion energy
sciences community had the opportunity to submit brief descriptions of proposed research
thrusts or other input addressing scientific and technical issues or concerns of relevance to the
scope of the ReneW. submissions were welcome from all members of the fusion community,
regardless of whether they were formally participating in ReneW. in addition, the authors of
these white papers were offered the opportunity to present their input during the five Theme
workshops held in march of 2009. more than 250 white papers were submitted in response
to this request, and they were posted on the public page of the ReneW website. considering
their importance in informing and formulating the thrusts that emerged from the ReneW, these
white papers will be maintained online for at least five years.
a list of these white papers arranged by Theme is included below. links to the white papers can
be found at: http://burningplasma.org/web/renew_whitepapers.html
