An assessment of the prospects for inertial fusion energy / / Committee on the Prospects for Inertial Confinement Fusion Energy Systems, Board on Physics and Astronomy, Board on Energy and Environmental Systems, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, National Research Council of the National Academies.
"The potential for using fusion energy to produce commercial electric power was first explored in the 1950s. Harnessing fusion energy offers the prospect of a nearly carbon-free energy source with a virtually unlimited supply of fuel. Unlike nuclear fission plants, appropriately designed fusion...
