The European roadmap provides a holistic view covering all aspects
and the remaining challenges that need to be tackled before realizing a
fusion power plant. The most important elements of the European fusion
roadmap are the international ITER experiment, the DEMO demonstration
plant and the IFMIF-DONES neutron source for testing and validation of
materials. In the rapidly changing international fusion landscape, the
EUROfusion Consortium is proposing to adapt the European fusion
programme to support the ongoing re-baselining of ITER as well as to
realise DEMO at the fastest possible time scale by an R&D and design
programme that is parallel to ITER operation.
