Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xviii, 90, [4] pages. Illustrations (Figures and Tables). Inscribed by editor on fep. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The contributors included many of the leading government and laboratory technology leaders in fusion technology at that time. Stephen O. Dean is an American physicist, engineer and manager who has worked on the development of fusion for energy and other applications for over 50 years. In 1966, Dean co-authored the Atomic Energy Commission's (AEC) Policy for Controlled Thermonuclear Research. In 1976, he led the preparation of the Fusion Power by Magnetic Confinement Program Plan this provided the basis for the Magnetic Fusion Act of 1980; which was signed into law by Jimmy Carter. In 1979, he co-founded Fusion Power Associates, a non-profit scientific research and educational foundation. He has served as president of the foundation since that time. In 2013, he published the book Search for the Ultimate Energy Source - A History of the U.S. Fusion Energy Program. The Introduction asserted that for more than a quarter-century of U.S. effort has been poured into scientists' dreams of someday producing low cost energy from controlled thermonuclear fusion reactions. Significant advances during the preceding few years have given the U.S. scientific community confidence that controlled thermonuclear reactors will not only be possible, but will become safe, clean, economic -- and commonplace. As this item is catalogued, more than thirty-five years of additional investment into fusion research and development have been made and the promise is not yet achieved. Fusion Power Associates is a non-profit group in Gaithersburg, MD which advocates for fusion power through research and education. It was co-founded by Dr. Stephen O. Dean, Dr. Alvin Trivelpiece and Dr. Nicholas Krall in 1979. The association presents awards annually to individuals, recognizing leadership, distinguished career, and excellence in fusion engineering. The association occasionally also presents special awards, for outstanding public service and for education and outreach. The association sponsors annual meetings and management-level symposia on current progress in fusion and also issues a newsletter and frequent email Fusion Program Notes. The organizations purpose is "to ensure the timely development and acceptance of fusion as a socially, environmentally and economically attractive source of energy." This is done primarily through providing timely information on the status of fusion development and plasma science via the issuance of newsletters and email Fusion Program Notes and the sponsorship of annual management-level technical symposia. This is realized through a set of goals:Bring about a smooth, timely transition from research on fusion science and technology to engineering development and practical applications.Foster cooperation among all public and private organizations, including government, universities, national laboratories and industry.Establish increased public awareness and understanding of the potential applications of fusion science and technology.Foster the use of fusion science and technology in both commercial and government applications, including such areas as energy, space and national security.
