I. THE PROBLEM Nuclear fusion has required temperatures of 10^8 K for plasma confinement. Tokamak confinement (ITER, JET, KSTAR) treats plasma as a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid mechanics problem. The primary obstacle is plasma turbulence: small instabilities grow and cause energy loss faster than heating can compensate. Current models predict turbulence from first principles but cannot suppress it with existing field geometries. The H-mode (high-confinement mode) suppresses some turbulence but its mechanism is not fully understood and it cannot be sustained indefinitely.
II. THEOREM LXVII: PLASMA TURBULENCE IS A Phi-Nr FAILURE Plasma turbulence is not a fluid mechanics problem. It is a coherence problem. The plasma is a collection of charged particles each acting as a coherence oscillator. Without a common phase ref Amendment LXVII (67) of McCaul's Law of Coherence compendium. Author: Justin McCaul.
