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.

Tuesday, August 8, 2023|3:30–5:00PM EDT|Banyan 1
Session Chairs:
Mark Campagna
Tim Crook (Blue Wave Labs)
Track Organizer:
Ken Lowery, P.E. (Southern Nuclear)
Knowledge Manager:
Mikayla Florez
This panel will address several cutting edge nuclear industry developments based upon both new NPP modifications recently undertaken/planned and adjacent government innovations (e.g., AI/DX) - that have excellent potential as compelling value propositions. Utility, AE/EPCs, and nuclear plant OEMs will be presenting these latest innovations. Topics will include New Energy Storage techniques, Utility innovations in the DX/AI arena, EPRI Projects, Advancements in new reactor construction techniques and adjacent USG agencies use of analogous operations/ Maintenance methods available NOW for NPPs.
