atw Vol. 68 (2023) | Ausgabe 5 ı September Fusion in 10 years – Is this ‘the real thing’ or ‘here-we-go-again’? Can fusion energy become a significant contributor towards net zero by 2050? Jay Brister, Ruediger Koenig, John Warden Introduction Fusion energy is increasingly making headlines as an energy source which is ready to help mitigate the impacts of climate change. It has been long sought after as the “holy grail” of energy sources touting an almost endless source of fuel, its high energy density, no runaway reaction, and no long-lived radioactive waste streams. Research on fusion has been going on for almost 70 years, with breakthrough always “just another 20 years away”. So, what is making the difference today? This article examines the following questions: 1. Is fusion ready to become a viable commercial energy source? 2. What are the challenges the technology faces to reach that viability? In the first article in this series 1 we addressed what needs to facilitate Small Modular Reactor and advanced fission deployment at scale: Issue 1: The scale and profile of financial support for technology deployment Issue 2: The capacity and agility of the technology Supply Chain Issue 3: Modifications to Energy Market Design to accommodate technology advantages Issue 4: The technology implementation risk in technology designs still not eliminated Issue 5: Alignment of technology design and siting licensing systems Issue 6: Successful technology deployment will encompass significantly more nuclear sites Issue 7: (Nuclear) industry culture is driven by excess risk aversion could spill over to Fusion Issue 8: Competition from other technologies In this article, we will refer to these in the context of the fusion sector, by highlighting with a reference to the particular issue number. In the third article, we will explore in more detail how these challenges may impact the future relative growth of fusion and SMR technologies. From the outset, the authors would like to make clear that we acknowledge and agree that fusion technology is being developed distinctly separate from fission technology – its industry, its stakeholders, the public see fusion as pure, clean, peaceful, and exciting and want to see it untouched by the negative attributes of “nuclear”. However, there are lessons to be learned, there are skills and capabilities to be shared, and from a pragmatic business perspective the two represent competing pathways to an equitable global energy supply and a net zero new energy system. | This article is the second in a 3-part series by NECG in atw – International Journal for Nuclear Power, to explore the role that new technology in nuclear fission and in fusion can have in a New Energy System, and what challenges they will need to overcome.
