Outline and Purpose of the Course	This course aims to master fundamentals about fusion plasma in a nuclear-fusion energy reactor. Focusing on a magnetic confinement system, high temperature plasma diagnostics, fundamental fusion plasma physics and basic principles of reactor design are reviewed. Lecture and discussions will be offered also on energy and global environment problems, property of energy sources in next generation.
Course Goals	To understand the basic terms for fusion plasma such as what is fusion energy, what is plasma and why it is necessary to handle plasma for fusion energy, etc. To understand fundamental concepts of nuclear fusion reactor and the core plasma. To understand how to diagnose the high temperature plasma in magnetic field confinement. To understand the essences of fusion reactor design.
Schedule and Contents	In principal, the course will be offered as the following plan. However, it may change the order or number of times for each theme depending on the progressive of the course or handling on current topics. 1. Energy and environmental problems and What is fusion energy? (1 week) 2. Plasma confinement for fusion reactor (1 week) 3. Transport phenomenon in magnetically confined plasma (2-3 weeks) 4. Basics of plasma heating (2-3 weeks) 5. Basics of boundary plasma physics and Plasma material interaction (1-2 weeks) 6. High temperature plasma diagnostics (4-5 weeks) 7. Fundamentals of nuclear fusion reactor design (3-4 weeks)
Evaluation Methods and Policy	Evaluation will be based on assignments (50%) and class performance (50%). Evaluation for class performance includes attendance and short reports. - Students will submit all assignments. The assignments with originality will be given a high score.
Course Requirements	It should be better to have elemental knowledge on physics, electromagnetics, quantum mechanics, etc.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	It is preferable to know basic terms related to physics, electromagnetics, quantum mechanics, etc., but it is not essential.
