 of fusion.
・Expected role and feature of fusion is different among parties.

    Expectations for Fusion International Symposium on Global Sustainability Institute of Sustainable Science ・Fusion has advantages to sell. ・But electricity (particularly cheap one) is not the unique product of fusion. ・Expected role and feature of fusion is different among parties. EU ・Resource (particularly self-sufficiency) US ・Safety (over fission?) KO ・environment (reduction of CO2 emission) CH -replacing Oil, not nuclear or renewables IN ・Large amount of supply to meet demands JA ・Proliferation Other ・Economy parties Plant (Demo?) design Fission acceptance Nuclear infrastructure

    Fusion as apotential energy International Symposium on Global Sustainability Institute of Sustainable Science Free from supply constraint of resources - abundant, not localized resource required Hydrogen - technology driven, not resource oriented energy Energy Helium Economy - competitive energy price - meets requirement for economical development Environmental friendliness - low carbon dioxide emission - low pollution, impact to environment Social acceptance, adaptation - free from nuclear proliferation and wastes - meets market needs (urban demand) - supply fuels (hydrogen), transportation.
