PROTO (fusion reactor)

PROTO is a proposed nuclear fusion reactor to be implemented after 2050, a successor to the ITER and DEMO projects. It is part of the European Commission long-term strategy for research of fusion energy. PROTO would act as a prototype power station, taking in any technology refinements from earlier projects, and demonstrating electricity generation on a commercial basis. It may or may not be a second part of DEMO/PROTO experiment.[https://web.archive.org/web/20160303194633/https://community.dur.ac.uk/superconductivity.durham/The%20roadmap%20to%20magnetic%20confinement.pdf The roadmap to magnetic confinement fusion, Damian Hampshire][http://www.mdcampbell.com/BeyondITER.pdf Beyond ITER].
