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.

In this meeting, the current state and activities of the Student Section Committee will be discussed. This committee represents all the student sections of ANS at the national level. Student leaders and volunteers determine how the SSC will function and how the SSC can best support students in their local chapters. Having student involvement at the national level is crucial to the continued success and support of student ANS chapters. If you are interested in becoming more involved with ANS on a national level please attend this meeting. If you are a student section president, it is mandatory you, or a representative from your university, be in attendance.
