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 --$$cSource other than Library of Congress. 000720859 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000720859 650_0 $$aInertial confinement fusion$$zUnited States$$xEvaluation. 000720859 650_0 $$aInertial confinement fusion$$xResearch$$zUnited States. 000720859 650_0 $$aNuclear energy$$xTechnological innovations$$zUnited States. 000720859 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bCommittee on the Prospects for Inertial Confinement Fusion Energy Systems,$$eissuing body. 000720859 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bBoard on Physics and Astronomy,$$eissuing body. 000720859 7102_ $$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$$bBoard on Energy and Environmental Systems,$$eissuing body. 000720859 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tAssessment of the prospects for inertial fusion energy.$$dWashington, District of Columbia : National Academies Press, [2013]$$z9780309270816$$w(OCoLC)830351858 000720859 852__ $$bebk 000720859 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10863738$$zOnline Access 000720859 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:720859$$pGLOBAL_SET 000720859 980__ $$aEBOOK 000720859 980__ $$aBIB 000720859 982__ $$aEbook 000720859 983__ $$aOnline
