SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Purpose of
the Meeting: During the coming year, the
Office of Science (SC) will be
developing a new strategic plan for the
Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program.
The Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory
Committee (FESAC) recently completed
addressing a charge on the magnetic
fusion portion of the FES program. At
this meeting, FESAC will be charged to
address the remaining portions of the
FES program—alternate concepts, high
energy density laboratory plasmas and
inertial fusion energy, and plasma
sciences. In addition, the committee
will discuss how it plans to approach
each of the new charges and schedules
to complete them. Once the
recommendations and advice from
FESAC on all of these portions of the
program are complete, the Office of
Science will be prepared to write the
new strategic plan that will carry the
FES program through the next important
period in establishing the knowledge
base for an economically and
environmentally attractive fusion energy
source.
