Tokamak... is an acronym created from the Russian words, "TOroidalnaya KAmera ee MAgnitnaya Katushka, "or "Toroidal Chamber and Magnetic Coil, "and denotes a class of systems for the toroidal magnetic confinement of thermonuclear fusion plasmas. Originally designed by Andrei Sakharov(1921-1989) and developed in the USSR, the tokamak began setting performance records for magnetic confinement fusion systems in the late 1960s and remains the leading concept for magnetic confinement fusion today. The tokamak configuration is perhaps most easily visualized by considering a cylindrical vacuum tube(typically of D or O-shaped cross section) which has been bent around a symmetry axis into a torus. 1, record 10, English, - tokamak%20configuration

Generally, in magnetic containment schemes the deuterium/tritium fuel mixture would be introduced into the reaction chamber where it would be heated and compressed into a dense hot plasma to produce fusion. 2, record 15, English, - hot%20plasma

Hot plasmas can incinerate the most toxic organic substances completely, leaving no trace that might leak from the incinerator. Plasma incineration reduces the chemical quickly to molten carbon in which very little toxin could survive. 3, record 15, English, - hot%20plasma
