In 2022, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) sponsored an FPNS workshop 3 at which a strong consensus was reached in support of an FPNS delivered in 2028 or earlier, that would meet the requirements provided in Table 1, and that FPNS be designed with sufficient capability for future upgrade(s) to deliver increased performance capability by 2032, or 18131 earlier, also as shown in Table 1. There remained a strong consensus that the FPNS neutron spectrum must introduce appropriate levels of gaseous and solid transmutant impurities into the tested materials, consistent with the fusion neutron environment.

Thus, the results from an FPNS may not directly impact the design and construction of the first FPP but will be critical to later iterations of FPP and eventual licensing of commercial fusion power plants. Questions for Input SC is issuing this Request for Information on potential technological approaches to meet the needs listed in Table 1, and on potential ways to accelerate the construction and delivery of an FPNS including public-private partnerships. Of special interest are approaches leading to a facility under a total capital cost of $500M, even if meeting this objective would require upfront R&D. Responses should include discussions of the following topics (limit all responses to five pages): • Technological approach to meeting the performance requirements in Table 1 (provide the parameters listed in Table 1 that would be achieved based on projections of your proposed approach); • Technical maturity and risks of the concept; • Research and development required (with rough cost/schedule and go/no-go milestones) to increase the technical readiness level and retire risks such that a final design can be completed; • Estimated capital and operating costs; • Potential for performing accelerated irradiation studies; 3 https://www.epri.com/research/products/ 000000003002023917.
