We are promoting theory and simulation researches on LHD and other toroidal fusion plasmas in order to contribute to realization of fusion energy. Progresses in theory and simulation researches enable us to comprehend physical mechanisms of high-temperature plasmas and predict favorable conditions for fusion reactors.
