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.

We will see demonstrations from utilities that are deep into the use of “Artificial Intelligence” to significantly reduce the cost and improve the effectiveness of the Corrective Action Program, Work Order Screening and Work Order Generation. This session will include lessons learned from current efforts and developing a business case for the transformation of these three areas.
