Joan Lisa Bromberg's book documents the history of the American magnetic fusion reactor program. It is also a lively account that will inform interested citizens of limited technical background who are concerned with the nation's energy strategy. The book carries the story from the program's inception under the auspices of the Atomic Energy Commission in 1951 to its operations under the then-new Department of Energy in 1978. Fusion concentrates on the four federally funded laboratories where most of the money has been spent (about $2 billion so far): Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, and Princeton. It recounts the crucial experiments along the way-the ones that succeeded, the ones that failed, the ones that showed "promise. " And it explains and diagrams the various magnetic configurations and devices that were developed and tested: the "stellarator, " the "pinch, " the "mirror, " the " tokamak."., .
