Back To HomeFusion Energy Sciences
Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) advances plasma and fusion sciences and technology. The program emphasizes the underlying basic research in plasma and fusion sciences, with the long-term goal of harnessing fusion as a viable energy source.
FES supports research to:
- understand the physics of plasmas
- identify and explore innovative and cost-effective development paths to fusion energy
- partner in international efforts to advance the science and technology of energy-producing plasmas
The research plan focuses on the following areas:
- Basic plasma science and computational programs
- Innovative experiments to broaden the science base
- Make fusion more practical
FES is pursuing this goal through an integrated program of research based in U.S. universities, industry, and national laboratories, augmented by a broad program of international collaboration.
