Berkeley Lab contributes to report for US fusion, plasma science research Berkeley Lab/Courtesy The U.S. Department of Energy’s Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee recently adopted a report regarding a 10-year plan for fusion and plasma science research. According to the report, plasma research has led to significant scientific achievements. Two years in the making, a report adopted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee, or FESAC, establishes a plan for the next decade of fusion and plasma science research. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or Berkeley Lab, participated heavily in the community planning process report, which laid the foundation for the 10-year plan, according to Cameron Geddes, deputy director of the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator Center and a member of FESAC. The report outlines partnerships with federal, international and private investors and provides opportunities for growth in fusion and plasma research.
