Advisory Committee on Nuclear Fusion
On fusion research and development (hereafter, Fusion R&D) of our country, the Atomic Energy Commission of Japan laid down "the Third Phase Basic Program of Fusion Research and Development" (hereafter, the Third Phase Program) in June 1992. Since then, 10 years have passed and significant research progress has been made.

The Committee on Basic Issue on Fusion Research has been established to carry out check and review of the progress of Fusion R&D and to investigate future basic program of Fusion R&D under the Technical Working Group of the Atomic Energy Commission's Advisory Committee on Nuclear Fusion.

This committee summarized a report entitled "National Policy of Future Nuclear Fusion Research and Development"(Oct.2005)[(255KB)]. This report overviews the past achievement of Fusion R&D, and the basic approach and contents of the future R&D in the Third Phase Program as the opinion of academic standing in carrying out Fusion R&D under the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Fusion.
