Ceramic and organic insulators for fusion applications

Abstract Fusion insulator requirements, operating conditions, and anticipated performance of candidate materials are reviewed, with emphasis on recent developments. Critical problem areas are highlighted, and research and development activities needed to meet the demands of advanced fusion devices are identified.
