Abstract

The technological, political, and economic status of magnetic fusion research in the United States is discussed. Governmental and political scenarios for the development of magnetic fusion are assessed. A range of research is reviewed, including such programs as the Compact Ignition Tokamak, the Jet, TFTR, and JT-60 tokamaks, the DIII-D reactor, laser fusion reactors, and the Tritium Systems Test Facility. Management organization requirements and structures are developed and evaluated for overall reactor research and development planning.
