"burning nuclear plasma" meaning in All languages combined

See burning nuclear plasma on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

Forms: burning nuclear plasmas [plural]
Etymology: burning + nuclear plasma From being self-sufficient in the production of the amount of heat necessary to continue the nuclear processes, hence "burning" (where in a chemical fire, the reaction processes produces enough heat to continue reacting in the heat portion of the fire triangle); and being a plasma (a highly ionized gas) where nuclear processes occur. Etymology templates: {{compound|en|burning|nuclear plasma}} burning + nuclear plasma Head templates: {{en-noun}} burning nuclear plasma (plural burning nuclear plasmas)
  1. (nuclear physics) A plasma undergoing nuclear fusion where the amount of fusion reactions is sufficient to produce enough energy to maintain the temperature of the plasma at a level necessary for further fusion processes. Categories (topical): Nuclear physics Synonyms: burning plasma
