Along with nano, IT, and eco-friendly sectors, the National Fusion Research Institute is securing core plasma technologies similar to those in the sun and pioneering applied technology fields. The institute tour includes watching a promotional video and listening to presentations on fusion energy as well as facilities like KSTAR and ITER.
