  1. FESAC Planning Panel Third Meeting PPPL August 7-9, 2007

  2. From Charge by Under Secretary Orbach “To assist planning for the ITER era, it is critical that FESAC identify the issues arising in a path to DEMO, with ITER as a central part of that effort” • “Identify and prioritize the broad scientific and technical questions to be answered prior to a DEMO.” • “Assess available means (inventory), including all existing and planned facilities around the world, as well as theory and modeling, to address these questions.” • “Identify research gaps and how they may be addressed through new facility concepts, theory and modeling.”

  3. Discussion of Charge • We can’t predict the specific implementation for DEMO so we take a broad view. • Electricity producing, demonstration power plant • High gain • High availability and reliability • Demonstration of all relevant technologies • DEMO and the development path drive the time line and help define needs – but we are not charged with producing a roadmap or a (new) complete development plan. • Note: our work is especially important in informing decisions for the next step(s) the program may take. • We aren’t reviewing or recommending specific facilities • The context is international, but US leadership is desired

  4. The Panel’s Job • Identify issues that must be addressed to create knowledge base for DEMO • How do we define a “basis” set of “broad” questions and issues? • Prioritize these issues • What are the criteria we should be using? • Inventory available means – in current and planned programs • What will these programs actually do? • Identify critical paths and gaps • Where are we headed? What will DEMO be? • Identify opportunities - how the gaps may be filled • How to synthesize from all of the above?
