Title: Magnetic Fusion Energy at LLNL
Abstract: Fusion holds the promise of safe, essentially unlimited energy from abundant sources, with no long-term radioactive waste. Recent breakthroughs and rapid expansion of fusion private industry has accelerated the pace of progress to making fusion a reality. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has been at the forefront of fusion energy research since its founding in 1952, both inertial and magnetic fusion energy approaches. This talk will introduce LLNL, magnetic fusion energy research, and the opportunities to get involved in this exciting and multi-disciplinary field.
