Kivonat:

Nuclear fusion research aims at the production of an intrinsically safe, 
economically competitive and environmentally acceptable energy source. 
Based on the fusion of deuterium and tritium nuclei, it relies on abundant 
fuels (deuterium and lithium used to generate tritium) equally spread 
throughout the world and having a high energy density. However producing 
electricity out of a fusion reaction is not an easy task. The confinement 
of the hot plasma, its control in temperature, density and purity, sets 
particular challenges to the present state-of-the-art technology. 

Fusion is the focus of an international research programme. The ITER 
fusion experiment under construction will for the first time explore the 
burning plasma regime where the plasma energy is sustained by its own 
fusion reactions. The ITER experiment created new challenges and 
requirements in terms of techniques for measurements of the plasma. This 
will be illustrated in this presentation by way of a few examples.
