EPRI fusion program and its thrust in fusion engineering

Conference · · Proc. Symp. Eng. Probl. Fusion Res.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6360396
The primary objective of EPRI's Fusion Power Systems Program is to ensure the identification, selection, and development of fusion systems that can be used by the electric utility industry. The program highlights utility-oriented issues, such as power plant size, compatibility with utility grid, and maintainability. The major thrust of DOE's program has been large (1-GW(e) fusion power plants. The development of concepts in support of small systems could improve fusion's ultimate penetration capability. To implement its goals, the EPRI program is organized into three subprograms: magnetic confinement fusion, inertial confinement fusion, and analysis and technical development.
