“Fusion energy needs a global industry because it needs to have a global product.” CATF’s Sehila M Gonzalez de Vicente discusses the importance of international cooperation to accelerate #fusion energy deployment at a #COP29 even with ITER Organization, IFMIF-DONES, American Nuclear Society, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and SUBRA A/S. Sehila highlighted the needs met by CATF’s International Database project: “To build any fusion machine you need data, and data takes time and money. We must get data and the mechanisms to use data faster, and that’s what we’re working on.” The panel also underscored why collaboration is crucial to success: “Collaboration with companies, with policymakers, with researchers. It allows knowledge transfer and data sharing, which is critical.” Learn more about CATF’s fusion energy program here: https://lnkd.in/e7Sp_qJs
