Taking shape: Fusion energy ecosystems built with public-private partnerships
It’s possible to describe fusion in simple terms: heat and squeeze small atoms to get abundant clean energy. But there’s nothing simple about getting fusion ready for the grid.
Private developers, national lab and university researchers, suppliers, and end users working toward that goal are developing a range of complex technologies to reach fusion temperatures and pressures, confounded by science and technology gaps linked to plasma behavior; materials, diagnostics, and electronics for extreme environments; fuel cycle sustainability; and economics.
To all our engineers, doctors, students, educators, scientists, soldiers, advocates, suppliers, government employees, and others in the nuclear community – we see you and we’re here to support your work and studies to advance nuclear science and technology.
ANS is YOUR community; we’re here to facilitate a forum for sharing advancements in technology, engaging the public and policymakers, and advancing careers.
Keep reading to learn about some of the ways we can help you, wherever you are in your journey.
