Why has the clean, limitless energy promised by fusion always
seemed just out of reach? Search for the Ultimate Energy Source: A
History of the U.S. Fusion Energy Program, explains the
fundamentals and concepts behind fusion power, and traces the
development of fusion historically by decade-covering its history
as dictated by US government policies, its major successes, and its
prognosis for the future. The reader will gain an understanding of
how the development of fusion has been shaped by changing
government priorities as well as other hurdles currently facing
realization of fusion power. Advance Praise for Search for the
Ultimate Energy Source: "Dr. Dean has been uniquely involved in
world fusion research for decades and, in this book, describes the
complicated realities like few others possibly could." -Robert L.
Hirsch, a former director of the US fusion program, an Assistant
Administrator of the US Energy Research and Development
Administration (ERDA); an executive at Exxon, Arco, and the
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI); and lead author of the
book The Impending World Energy Mess (Apogee Prime Books, 2009).
"In this book, Dr. Dean provides the many reasons why fusion has
progressed more slowly than many had hoped. Budget is usually cited
as the culprit, but policy is equally to blame. Facilities have
been closed down before their jobs were done-or in some cases, even
started. It seems this situation has become endemic in fusion, and
if one thinks about it, in other nationally important Science and
Technology initiatives as well." -William R. Ellis, a former
scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Associate Director of
Research at the US Naval Research Laboratory, a vice president at
Ebasco Services and at Raytheon, and chair of the US ITER Industry
Council and the US ITER Industrial Consortium.
