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.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Cost Reduction Opportunities

Session Chairs:
Maria Hernandez
Tim Schlimpert
Knowledge Managers:
Wale Adeyinka
This session will present an in depth analysis of industry cost and staffing data over the past several years. We will also discuss technological innovations and industry approaches available to yield online and outage cost reductions. Tooling and technologies available to highlight key trends and best practices in obtaining O&M and Capital spending reductions will also be discussed. We will share insights into staffing optimizations available across the nuclear enterprise. Lastly, relationships between initiatives, innovations and actual cost reductions will be examined, discussed, and demonstrated.
