The work reviews roughly the past fifty years of physics and research, highlighting innovative technologies aimed at achieving controlled thermonuclear fusion for energy production. It also outlines the IAEA’s long-term role in fusion research and the conferences and collaborations that helped shape landmark initiatives such as ITER.","@  \nEdited by: Mitsuru Kikuchi Karl Lackner Minh Quang Tran  \nFUSION PHYSICS  \nThe following States are Members of the International Atomic Energy Agency:  \nAFGHANISTAN ALBANIA  \nALGERIA ANGOLA ARGENTINA  \nARMENIA AUSTRALIA  \nAUSTRIA AZERBAIJAN BAHRAIN  \nBANGLADESH BELARUS  \nBELGIUM  \nBELIZE  \nBENIN  \nBOLIVIA  \nBOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BOTSWANA  \nBRAZIL BULGARIA  \nBURKINA FASO  \nBURUNDI CAMBODIA  \nCAMEROON  \nCANADA  \nCENTRAL AFRICAN  \nREPUBLIC CHAD CHILE  \nCHINA  \nCOLOMBIA  \nCONGO  \nCOSTA RICA CÔTE D’IVOIRE CROATIA CUBA CYPRUS  \nCZECH REPUBLIC  \nDEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO  \nDENMARK  \nDOMINICA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC  \nECUADOR EGYPT  \nEL SALVADOR ERITREA ESTONIA ETHIOPIA FINLAND FRANCE GABON GEORGIA  \nGERMANY  \nGHANA GREECE GUATEMALA HAITI  \nHOLY SEE  \nHONDURAS HUNGARY ICELAND  \nINDIA  \nINDONESIA  \nIRAN, ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAQ  \nIRELAND ISRAEL ITALY JAMAICA  \nJAPAN JORDAN KAZAKHSTAN KENYA  \nKOREA, REPUBLIC OF KUWAIT KYRGYZSTAN  \nLAO PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC  \nREPUBLIC LATVIA LEBANON  \nLESOTHO LIBERIA  \nLIBYA  \nLIECHTENSTEIN  \nLITHUANIA LUXEMBOURG MADAGASCAR  \nMALAWI  \nMALAYSIA MALI MALTA  \nMARSHALL ISLANDS MAURITANIA  \nMAURITIUS MEXICO  \nMONACO  \nMONGOLIA  \nMONTENEGRO  \nMOROCCO  \nMOZAMBIQUE MYANMAR NAMIBIA NEPAL NETHERLANDS  \nNEW ZEALAND NICARAGUA  \nNIGER  \nNIGERIA NORWAY OMAN PAKISTAN  \nPALAU  \nPANAMA  \nPAPUA NEW GUINEA  \nPARAGUAY PERU PHILIPPINES POLAND  \nPORTUGAL QATAR  \nREPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA ROMANIA  \nRUSSIAN FEDERATION RWANDA  \nSAUDI ARABIA SENEGAL  \nSERBIA  \nSEYCHELLES SIERRA LEONE  \nSINGAPORE SLOVAKIA  \nSLOVENIA SOUTH AFRICA SPAIN  \nSRI LANKA SUDAN SWEDEN  \nSWITZERLAND  \nSYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC TAJIKISTAN  \nTHAILAND  \nTHE FORMER YUGOSLAV  \nREPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA TUNISIA  \nTURKEY UGANDA UKRAINE  \nUNITED ARAB EMIRATES  \nUNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND  \nUNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA  \nUNITED STATES OF AMERICA  \nURUGUAY UZBEKISTAN VENEZUELA VIETNAM YEMEN ZAMBIA  \nZIMBABWE  \nThe Agency’s Statute was approved on 23 October 1956 by the Conference on the Statute of the IAEA held at United Nations Headquarters, New York; it entered into force on 29 July 1957.
