Ignitor is a compact fusion reactor based on the magnetic confinement of high
energy plasmas. It is the first experiment proposed and designed to achieve
ignition in a fusion reacting plasma.





Ignitor will provide the scientific community with the essential understanding
of the physics of fusion burning plasmas, as well as the conditions needed to
achieve a controlled, self-sustaining reaction.





This is a necessary step towards demonstrating that a fusion reactor can produce
net power, therefore harnessing the attractive, sustainable energy resource that
is fusion.
