The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently published a report titled "Bringing Fusion to the U.S. Grid". The goal of the report was to develop a strategy and roadmap for “constructing a pilot plant in the United States that produces electricity from fusion at the lowest possible capital cost”. 
 
Three members of the report will present and discuss key recommendations, conclusions, and opportunities in a zoom seminar on March 11. The seminar will be a forum to learn and ask questions about the future of the U.S. Fusion Program.We hope you will attend.
