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.
12th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control and Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2021)
Technical Session|Panel
Wednesday, June 16, 2021|12:00–1:45PM EDT
Session Chair:
Jeffrey C. Joe (INL)
Session Organizer:
Alternate Chair:
David R. Desaulniers (U.S. NRC)
Staff Producer:
Pat Schroeder (ANS)
This panel session highlights the work to develop consensus and other industry standards relevant to nuclear Instrumentation and Control Systems and Human Factors Engineering. Featured panelists include Richard Wood (IEEE I&C), Wolfgang Krause (IEC Human Factors), Judi See (HFES Human Factors), Prasad Kadambi (ANS I&C), and David Desaulniers (IEEE Human Factors). Panelist will describe their currently active standards, with an emphasis on their relevance and value to the nuclear I&C and human factors communities. Panelist will also highlight new standards under development and what gaps in the existing technical guidance these new standards are intended to fill.
