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.

This presentation and Q&A aims to explain trends in scholarly publishing and the key stages in the journal publication process. This includes an overview of the appropriate journal selection, strategic article planning, the etiquette of authorship, adherence to publishing ethics, management of reviews, understanding editorial expectations and functions, and a brief overview of the American Nuclear Society’s publication portfolio.
This event is meant for students and early-stage professionals as it offers valuable insights into the intricate procedures involved in journal publication. However, anyone is welcome to join us for lunch and a discussion about the exciting publishing avenues ANS has to offer the fusion community.
