Fusion Energy Technology R&D Priorities, 1st Edition, edited by Laila El-Guebaly, presents basic magnetic fusion concepts and global pathways to fusion energy. The book supports technical evaluation of research priorities across magnetic fusion reactor subsystems.

The text details reactor subsystems by examining plasma facing components. It provides comparative analysis between helium-cooled divertor options and water-cooled divertor options. Furthermore, the volume explores breeding blanket options, comparing the performance traits of liquid breeder systems alongside ceramic breeder blankets.

A defining feature of the book is its multi-regional review of safety requirements, operational approaches, and accident scenarios across six regions: the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, China, and Korea. This comparative safety overview supports advanced researchers and engineers in nuclear energy and fusion technology.
