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.

Amid continued supply chain issues and economic downturns, a post-pandemic Europe is facing a brutal wintertime energy crisis spurred by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, nuclear phaseouts in Germany and elsewhere, France’s grid troubles, and the loss of Russian gas imports for heating and electricity. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, ANS activated its Rapid Response Taskforce and recruited members and other experts on reactor safety and radiation protection to help provide clear and accurate information to members of the media and the public. Now nearly nine months into Russia’s long war against a Western-supplied Ukraine, winter is here for an energy-crunched Europe – what does that mean for nuclear energy, safety, and communications? What lessons can be learned to help ride out this perfect storm of war, short-sighted energy policies, economic troubles, and freezing temperatures? Are we facing a new world for energy policymaking and how will Europe and the rest of the world fare this winter?
