US DOE Announces Plan For $30 Million In Research Funding :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: The US Department of Energy on Thursday announced a plan to provide $30 million for new research on fusion energy.



The funding will provide $17m for research focused specifically on artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches for prediction of key plasma phenomena, management of facility operations, and accelerated discovery through data science, among other topics.



An additional $13m under a separate funding opportunity will be devoted to fundamental fusion theory research, including computer modelling and simulation, focused on factors affecting the behaviour of hot plasmas confined by magnetic fields in fusion reactors.
