Grid Washington, D.C. : National Academies Press,c2021 9780309685382 330 8 $aFusion energy offers the prospect of addressing the nation's energy needs and contributing to the transition to a low-carbon emission electrical generation infrastructure. Technology and research results from U.S. investments in the major fusion burning plasma experiment known as ITER, coupled with a strong foundation of research funded by the Department of Energy (DOE), position the United States to begin planning for its first fusion pilot plant. Strong interest from the private sector is an additional motivating factor, as the process of decarbonizing and modernizing the nation's electric infrastructure accelerates and companies seek to lead the way.At the request of DOE, Bringing Fusion to the U.S. Grid builds upon the work of the 2019 report Final Report of the Committee on a Strategic Plan for U.S. Burning Plasma Research to identify the key goals and innovations - independent of confinement concept - that are needed to support the development of a U.S. fusion pilot plant that can serve as a model for producing electricity at the lowest possible capital cost. 610 $aForce And Energy 610 $aScience 700 $aNational Academies of Sciences$b Engineering, and Medicine$01596851 701 $aEngineering$b National Academy of$01705064 701 $aStudies$b Division on Earth and Life$01731720 701 $aSciences$b Division on Engineering and Physical$01651736 701 $aBoard$b Nuclear and Radiation Studies$01731721 701 $aSystems$b Board on Energy and Environmental$01731722 701 $aAstronomy$b Board on Physics and$01731723 701 $aPlant$b Committee on the Key Goals and Innovation Needed for a U.S. Fusion Pilot$01731724 712 02$aNational Academy of Engineering, 712 02$aDivision on Earth and Life Studies, 712 02$aDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences, 712 02$aNuclear and Radiation Studies Board, 712 02$aBoard on Energy and Environmental Systems, 712 02$aBoard on Physics and Astronomy, 712 02$aCommittee on the Key Goals and Innovation Needed for a U.S. Fusion Pilot Plant, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838356303321 996 $aBringing Fusion to the U.
