Summary: Fusion energy represents a promising alternative to
        fossil fuels and nuclear fission for world energy
        production. This Glossary is a compendium of Frequently Used
        Terms in Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy Research.  Refer
        to the FAQ on Conventional Fusion for more detailed info
        about topics in fusion research.  This Glossary does NOT
        discuss unconventional forms of fusion (like Cold Fusion).
