In transition: Commercializing fusion power
Commercial fusion power is closer than ever. There are now around 30 U.S. fusion companies, several of which claim to be on track to connect to the grid as early as the 2030s.
Tokamak and laser inertial confinement approaches benefit from decades of research at facilities such as the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and ITER, with alternative concepts including stellarator, magnetic mirror, and Z-pinch confinement also making notable progress as private and government funding for fusion increases.
The career fair will consist of two parts. The first part consists of a dedicated presentation time of one uninterrupted hour for each company, with time for Q&A at the end, and a virtual booth setup. During the presentation time, each company will present what they do in nuclear, career opportunities, etc. For the virtual booths, each company will have a zoom room where they can have intermittent staffed and unstaffed sessions.During the staffed periods, students may ask questions to the company representatives, but this will not necessarily be 1-on-1. During the unstaffed periods, attendees will only see the company cover slide with times for the next staffed period, and the cover slide will include information about the company itself. Each company may choose the frequencies of their staffed sessions, and may choose to staff their booth for the entire time, just the one hour session, or any frequency or length between these two options.
