DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tom Mehlhorn - University of Michigan\nFrom KMS Fusion to H
 B11 Energy\, Xcimer Energy\, and Fuse Federal USA\; A 50 Year Inertial Fus
 ion Energy Perspective\n\nThe achievement of ignition and gain on NIF has 
 validated the scientific basis of inertial confinement fusion (ICF).\n\nTh
 e Department of Energy (DOE) and venture capital funded private companies 
 are again interested in inertial fusion energy (IFE). The new DOE Mileston
 e-Based Fusion Development Program and other Federal programs are creating
  public–private partnerships to accelerate progress toward fusion pilot 
 plants.\n\nThe U.S. leads in ICF\, but the race to develop the first IFE p
 ower plant is an international competition. Private companies will need to
  play a leading role in developing the necessary technologies.\n\nThis tal
 k will provide a 50-year perspective as well as discuss promising strategi
 es for the U.S. IFE program from both public and private viewpoints. It wi
 ll also describe the research of three companies that I am advising: HB11 
 Energy Pty Ltd. (aneutronic proton–boron fuel cycle)\, 2) Xcimer Energy 
 (IFE technology to achieve high laser energies)\, and 3) Fuse Federal (nex
 t generation pulsed power technologies for both defense and energy applica
 tions).\n\nSpeaker(s): Tom\, \n\nAgenda: \n3PM: Welcome and Introductions\
