A technician looks through the center of the NRL Linus-0 reactor. The Linus program [a] was an experimental fusion power project developed by the United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) starting in 1971. [2] The goal of the project was to produce a controlled fusion reaction by compressing plasma inside a metal liner.

A number of reactor designs, like the Integral Fast Reactor, have been designed for this rather different fuel cycle. In principle, it should be possible to derive energy from the fission of any actinide nucleus. With a careful reactor design, all the actinides in the fuel can be consumed, leaving only lighter elements with short half-lives ...

The plasma tends to expand immediately and some force is necessary to act against it. This force can take one of three forms: gravitation in stars, magnetic forces in magnetic confinement fusion reactors, or inertial as the fusion reaction may occur before the plasma starts to expand, so the plasma's inertia is keeping the material together.

Construction of prototypes is continuing (see fast breeder or generation IV reactors). In principle, fusion power could be produced by nuclear fusion of elements such as the deuterium isotope of hydrogen. While an ongoing rich research topic since at least the 1940s, no self-sustaining fusion reactor for any purpose has ever been built.
This is intended to be a list of important experimental reactors built for researching Fusion power. There should also be a survey article with a timeline. There should also be a survey article with a timeline.
