Dean Fusion Power Associates http;//fusionpower.org June 1, 2007 The Executive Summary and Overview sections of the recently issued U. S. National Academies report (FPN07-32), Plasma Science: Advancing Science in the National Interest, listed only one "principal" recommendation to the U. S. Department of Energy Office of Science: to broaden its stewardship role for plasma science "well beyond the present mission and purview of the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences." However, the main body of the report provides specific conclusions and recommendations for various sub-fields. The section on Plasma Physics at High Energy Density contains the following conclusion: "If the United States is to realize the opportunities for future energy applications that may come from the achievement of inertial fusion ignition, a strategic plan is required for the development of the related science and technology toward the energy goal. Currently no such plan exists at the Department of Energy. Perhaps more importantly, neither is there a set of criteria to guide the determination of when such a plan should be developed."

S. Academies Report on Plasma Physics Message-ID: <200706051458.l55EwTI7017726@list.unu.edu> ----------------------------------------------------------------- PlasmaNet 7-041 U. S. Academies Report on Plasma Physics ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen O. Dean Fusion Power Associates http://fusionpower.org May 30, 2007 The U.S. National Academies has completed a survey that assesses progress and outlook for the future of plasma science. The report, Plasma Science: Advancing Knowledge in the National Interest, was prepared by the Plasma 2010 Committee, chaired by Steve Cowley (Univ of California at Los Angeles) and John Peoples, Jr.(Fermilab). The report examines the status of research in low-temperature plasma science and engineering, high energy density plasma physics, plasma physics of magnetic fusion, space and astrophysical plasmas, and basic plasma science. The report identifies six physical processes that demonstrate the intellectual unity of plasma research. The report then makes recommendations to the U.S. government for improving the national effort in plasma science. The report recommends that the U. S. Department of Energy Office of Science should expand the current scope of its Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (OFES) to include programs in "non-mission-driven high energy density plasma science" and in "low-temperature plasma science and engineering.". Like previous Academies studies, this study does not deal with the question of how best to develop a fusion power source for the Nation. Rather, it comments that, at some point in the future, the "fusion-energy development effort may move outside the Office of Science." The report then asks the question, "Who will then become the de-facto steward of plasma science?" The report then answers its own question by stating, "The committee concludes that the Office of Science would naturally fill this role." The report can be downloaded in unedited, prepublication form from the following URL http://www7.nationalacademies.org/bpa/PLS2010.html.
