Description
A panel of manufacturers and users explore key questions on the ongoing and evolving application of superconductivity, the development of high-field magnets, the arc of costs and supply on the path to commercially-viable fusion.
- How are innovations in superconductivity and magnets driving advances in MCF approaches?
- What supply-chain challenges and bottlenecks exist and how are they best be mitigated?
- What new manufacturing lines are expected in near term and what will the effect be on supply and on costs?
- What effect will magnet performance and cost have on the costs of an FOAK plant and the commercial viability of fusion?
- What is the potential for the improved superconductors with increased production capacity to enable additional superconducting products outside fusion?
