This realizes extremely large gains in fusion performance fusion power density scales as B^4 and access to ignition as ~B^5 at fixed plasma physics.\n\nThese gains in turn allow for operation a way from limits\, yet in much smaller and less expensive devices. CFS is p resently constructing the high-B tokamak SPARC outside Boston with MIT as its major scientific collaborator\, with the goal of demonstrating high fu sion energy gain and fusion power density that propels fusion into the com mercial energy sector. In addition to describing SPARC\, parallel key fusi on technology development programs will be described.\n\nThe talk is 4-5 p .m.\, with refreshments available at 3:30.
