American Nuclear Society Fusion Energy Division Presentation to the ANS Board of Directors Jeff Latkowski, FED Vice Chair June 2006 Reno, NV

Fusion Energy Division (FED) Mission This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.
