Pacific Fusion predicts “1,000-fold leap” in performance, net facility gain by 2030
Inertial fusion energy (IFE) developer Pacific Fusion, based in Fremont, Calif., announced this morning that it is on target to achieve net facility gain—more fusion energy out than all energy stored in the system—with a demonstration system by 2030, and backs the claim with a technical paper published yesterday on arXiv: “Affordable, manageable, practical, and scalable (AMPS) high-yield and high-gain inertial fusion.”

Session Organizer:
Alternate Chair:
David R. Desaulniers (U.S. NRC)
Staff Producer:
Pat Schroeder (ANS)
This panel session highlights the work to develop consensus and other industry standards relevant to nuclear Instrumentation and Control Systems and Human Factors Engineering. Featured panelists include Richard Wood (IEEE I&C), Wolfgang Krause (IEC Human Factors), Judi See (HFES Human Factors), Prasad Kadambi (ANS I&C), and David Desaulniers (IEEE Human Factors). Panelist will describe their currently active standards, with an emphasis on their relevance and value to the nuclear I&C and human factors communities. Panelist will also highlight new standards under development and what gaps in the existing technical guidance these new standards are intended to fill.
