From page 89...
... To succeed, this study must include a combination of plasma science, atomic physics, and materials science. Finally, as the next generation of tokamaks enters the thermonuclear regime with burning D-T fuel, the generation of copious amounts of 3.5-MeV alpha particles will open the door to the study of alpha-particle-related plasma phenomena, including stability and transport.
