CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Science for America (SfA), a non-profit "solutions incubator," announced today the release of a white paper: "New Opportunities for Fusion Power." Building on recent scientific advances, the SfA white paper describes two different promising approaches for fusion power that have the potential to speed progress, decrease cost, and simplify engineering challenges and might both be tested efficiently on a single, shared "demonstration system." The white paper, developed by scientists and technologists under SfA's Climate & Energy pillar, shares the ideas freely with the aim of spurring public discussion, scientific research, and commercialization efforts to accelerate fusion as a clean, affordable, scalable power source.

Key Points: 
  • The challenge has been overcoming major scientific and engineering challenges to make practical, inexpensive fusion energy systems.
  • In one breakthrough in 2021, Commonwealth Fusion Systems showed that high-temperature superconducting tape can create the strong magnetic fields needed for compact steady-state magnetic confinement fusion.
  • "After studying a wide range of ways in which fusion might be achieved, the group shined a spotlight on two very interesting approaches."
  • The white paper, "New Opportunities for Fusion Power," has been posted to https://www.scienceforamerica.org/ to share with the scientific community.
