Fusion regulatory frameworks (e.g., UK’s ONR guidance) require MHD risk assessments as part of licensing, treating plasma stability as a safety-critical control system.核聚变监管框架（如英国ONR指南）要求将MHD风险评估纳入许可流程，视等离子体稳定性为安全关键控制系统。
-
Stellarator designs like Wendelstein 7-X eliminate tokamak-driven MHD instabilities through optimized magnetic topology—but introduce new challenges in coil fabrication precision.仿星器（如Wendelstein 7-X）通过优化磁拓扑结构消除托卡马克固有的MHD不稳定性，但带来线圈制造精度等新挑战。
