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.

Raymond J. Juzaitis, author of the latest ANS book Redemption of Prometheus: Creating a Sustainable Nuclear Enterprise for the 21st Century, will be at the ANS booth for a book signing from 12 to 1 pm on Monday, November 13. Juzaitis’ book is a comprehensive narrative of the development of both civilian and military aspects of the nuclear enterprise. Juzaitis analyzes the sustainability of the US nuclear enterprise in the face of global climate change and the risk of nuclear conflict. Proposed initiatives include integrated and optimized nuclear systems, used fuel recycling, international nuclear fuel banks, and steps toward a world free of nuclear weapons.
