Overview of the 4th Master Plan
Vision
To secure a new sustainable national energy with fusion energy development
Goal
“To lead domestic and international fusion energy development
by accelerating core technology development and building strategic foundation”
Achieve KSTAR experimental goal
Fulfil final stage of ITER construction
Specify long-term R&D roadmap
Draft basic direction for fusion regulation
Strategy & Task
#1 Establish fusion-specific strategy & regime
- Specify and implement theLong-term R&D Roadmap
- Establish integrated foundation for fusion energy regime & framework
#2 Enable & reinforce core technology development
- Study high-performance plasma technology in KSTAR
- Develop key DEMO technologies for electricity generation
- Support HR training and industry ecosystem
#3 Accelerate technology development through international cooperation
- Secure core technologies through ITER project
- Reinforce strategical technology cooperation with major fusion energy developing countries
Time Line for Fusion Energy Development
* Rolling plan for fusion electricity demonstration by 2050s
* The plan will also be updated every five years with the Master Plan.
