DOE Office of ScienceStrategic Plan
February 2004
• 4 Strategic Goals for Fusion Program– First goal: Demonstrate with burning plasmas the scientific and
technological feasibility of fusion energy (through ITER project)– Fourth goals: Develop new materials, components, and
technologies needed to make fusion energy a reality
• Strategic Timeline– Toward 4th goal (materials, components, and technologies):
“By 2013, deliver to ITER for testing the blanket test modules needed to demonstrate the feasibility of extracting high-temperature heat from burning plasmas and for a self-sufficient fuel cycle”

Shifts in Priorities and Directionsfor Blanket R&D
• Shift focus of blanket R&D from science of higher risk concepts (APEX Project for advanced, innovative, and revolutionary) to development issues of lower risk concepts (conventional and evolutionary) that will be basis for Test Blanket Modules (TBMs) in early ITER operation
• Maintain some effort on higher risk concepts that might be tested as TBMs in later stages of ITER operation

Changing Views on Prospects for
Blanket Structural Materials
Recent change in structural materials R&D portfolio balance due to:
– Concerns about prospects for developing insulator coatings to control MHD effects in V/Li blanket
– More positive outlook on prospects of developing advanced (nanocomposited) ferritic steels that can operate at much higher temperatures than present-day steels
