The Fusion Working Group of EPRI says there are serious weaknesses in the American fusion energy research program. The panel of 10 utility executives said that the commercial viability of fusion power requires something better than current tokamak concepts. The panel wants DOE to increase support of alternate fusion concepts, because they feel that the current line of deuterium-tritium tokamak concepts will not lead to a commercially viable product.
