Fusion energy: Progress, partnerships, and the path to deployment
Over the past decade, fusion energy has moved decisively from scientific aspiration toward a credible pathway to a new energy technology. Thanks to long-term federal support, we have significantly advanced our fundamental understanding of plasma physics—the behavior of the superheated gases at the heart of fusion devices. This knowledge will enable the creation and control of fusion fuel under conditions required for future power plants. Our progress is exemplified by breakthroughs at the National Ignition Facility and the Joint European Torus.

Craig Stover is a Senior Program Manager in the Nuclear Sector at EPRI. Craig leads the Advanced Nuclear Technology (ANT) program which is focused on developing technology and solutions to support the deployment of the next generation of new nuclear power plants. Craig is also responsible for the Nuclear Beyond Electricity (NBE) Initiative which is enabling nuclear plants to participate in new energy markets.
Over his 10+ years at EPRI, Craig has worked in several different roles. Craig has managed the Balance of Plant NDE Innovation program. He led the advanced manufacturing and materials area in the Advanced Nuclear Technology (ANT) program. Craig also led the heat exchanger and thermal performance research portfolio for the Balance of Plant Corrosion (BOPC) program.
Craig joined EPRI after spending 6 years with South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G). During his time at SCE&G, Craig worked on the VC Summer Project where he supported licensing and constructing two new AP1000 nuclear power plants.
Craig holds a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Carolina and an MBA from Ohio University.
