Criteria for practical fusion power systems: Report from the EPRI Fusion Panel
- and others
Electric utilities are keenly interested in the promise of fusion: large-scale electricity production anywhere, with virtually no natural resource depletion or environmental pollution. To expedite development of commercially viable fusion systems, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) - the R&D wing of the US electric utility industry - recently convened a panel of top utility R&D managers and executive officers to identify the key criteria that must be met by fusion plants in order to be acceptable to utilities. The panel`s findings, summarized in this report, emphasize competitive economics, positive public perception, and regulatory simplicity.
