APPENDIX A SCOPE OF WORK* A [Committee] on International Cooperation in Magnetic Fusion will be established consisting of approximately ten members with broad backgrounds in electrical engineering; plasma physics; fusion technology; fusion reactor design; industrial participation in high-technology projects; energy supply; technology transfer; and the legal, diplomatic, and political aspects of multinational governmental ventures. The [committee] will: A. Identify the most important issues in international cooperation in magnetic fusion energy, so that they may be addressed in the study. B. Review and discuss alternative courses of cooperation in view of the scientific, technological, and engineering needs of fusion power, these courses being consistent with the areas of greatest competence of participating countries and with reasonable assumptions about future technological progress and international relationships. C. Review U.S. goals and objectives for the development of magnetic fusion as they may be phased over time and as they may relate to technological progress, industrial involvement, and selected socioeconomic factors. Compare U.S. goals and objectives with corresponding ones that may be available for the European and Japanese fusion efforts, in order to identify similarities and differences. D. Identify and characterize long-term implications of various courses of international cooperation with respect to U.S. goals, drawing as necessary on experience with other instances of international scientific and engineering cooperation. E. Recommend courses of future international cooperation as to technical topics, experimental facilities, extent, duration, and structure, drawing as necessary on prior studies. *Excerpted largely from the Notice of Financial Assistance Award from the U.S. Department of Energy to the National Academy of Sciences. 73
