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.

This year the Workforce Development Track has added a discussion around the training, development, and retention of Engineers, including all areas of Engineering Leadership, Design, Programs, Systems, Fuels, etc. Similar to other Departments, the traditional engineering initial training included classroom, mentoring and continuing training has strengths but also has some challenges as well as opportunities to use new methods, systems, and tools, individually and across the industry. To discuss the challenges and opportunities we have brought together this panel to share different ideas and perspectives.
