Harnessing Fusion Energy: The Power of Light
Presenter: Edward Moses, Teacher: Sylvia Moses

Harnessing the energy of the sun and stars to meet the Earth's energy needs has been a multiple decade-long scientific and engineering challenge.

The National Ignition Facility

NIF Director Edward Moses and teacher Sylvia Moses talk about how the National Ignition Facility is close to demonstrating fusion ignition and energy gain for the first time. Once ignition has been demonstrated, the world will have made a major step closer to developing a fusion power plant capable of producing clean, secure, carbon-free energy.

The lecture was held at the Bankhead Theater located at 2400 1st Street, Livermore.
