Harnessing fusion energy offers the prospect of a nearly carbon-free energy source with a virtually unlimited supply of fuel. Unlike nuclear fission plants, appropriately designed fusion power plants would not produce the large amounts of high-level nuclear waste that requires long-term disposal. Due to these prospects, many nations have initiated research and development (R&D) programs aimed at developing fusion as an energy source. Two R&D approaches are being explored: magnetic fusion energy (MFE) and inertial fusion energy (IFE). An Assessment of the Prospects for Inertial Fusion Energy describes and assesses the current status of IFE research in the United States; compares the various technical approaches to IFE; and identifies the scientific and engineering challenges associated with developing inertial confinement fusion (ICF) in particular as an energy source. It also provides guidance on an R&D roadmap at the conceptual level for a national program focusing on the design and construction of an inertial fusion energy demonstration plant." --Publisher's description --$cSource other than Library of Congress. 606 $aInertial confinement fusion$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aInertial confinement fusion$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aNuclear energy$xTechnological innovations$zUnited States 615 0$aInertial confinement fusion$xEvaluation. 615 0$aInertial confinement fusion$xResearch 615 0$aNuclear energy$xTechnological innovations 676 $a621.48/4 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on the Prospects for Inertial Confinement Fusion Energy Systems, 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Physics and Astronomy, 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Energy and Environmental Systems, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789365003321 996 $aAn assessment of the prospects for inertial fusion energy$93788912 997 $aUNINA
