Derek Charles Robinson FRS (27 May 1941 – 2 December 2002) was a physicist who worked in the UK fusion power program for most of his professional career.
 Studying turbulence in the UK's ZETA reactor, he helped develop the reversed field pinch concept, an area of study to this day.
 He is best known for his role in taking a critical measurement on the T-3 device in the USSR in 1969 that established the tokamak as the primary magnetic fusion energy device to this day.
 He was also instrumental in the development of the spherical tokamak design though the construction of the START device, and its follow-on, MAST.
 Robinson was in charge of portions of the UK Atomic Energy Authority's fusion program from 1979 until he took over the entire program in 1996 before his death in 2002.
Jeffrey P. Freidberg was head of the Nuclear Science and Engineering Department at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1997 to 2003.
 He is currently Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering (Emeritus) at MIT, and a collaborator at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.
 He retired as associate director of MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center and from his academic duties in 2011.
 He remained involved in the research activities of the PSFC Theory Group and wrote a new textbook on magnetohydrodynamics theory called "Ideal MHD" that was published in 2014 (a successor to his 1987 book "Ideal Magnetohydronamics").
 He is also author of a book titled "Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy" first published in 2007, that was based on a series of course notes from MIT graduate courses on plasma physics and fusion energy.
LIFE, short for Laser Inertial Fusion Energy, was a fusion energy effort run at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory between 2008 and 2013.
 LIFE aimed to develop the technologies necessary to convert the laser-driven inertial confinement fusion concept being developed in the National Ignition Facility (NIF) into a practical commercial power plant, a concept known generally as inertial fusion energy (IFE).
 Two designs were considered, operated as either a pure fusion or hybrid fusion-fission system.
 LIFE used the same basic concepts as NIF, but aimed to lower costs using mass-produced fuel elements, simplified maintenance, and diode lasers with higher electrical efficiency.
Magnetic confinement fusion is an approach to generating thermonuclear fusion power that uses magnetic fields to confine the hot fusion fuel in the form of a plasma.
 Magnetic confinement is one of two major branches of fusion energy research, the other being inertial confinement fusion.
 The magnetic approach is more highly developed and is usually considered more promising for practical power production, as it has reached the point of energy breakeven.
 Construction of a 500-MW power generating fusion plant using tokamak magnetic confinement geometry, the ITER, began in France in 2007 and is scheduled to begin operation 2035.
Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche Jr. (born September 8, 1922) is an American political activist and founder of the LaRouche movement.
 He has written on economic, scientific, and political topics, as well as on history, philosophy, and psychoanalysis.
 LaRouche was a presidential candidate in each election from 1976 to 2004, running once for his own U.S. Labor Party and seven times for the Democratic Party nomination.
Fusion Energy Foundation (FEF) was an American non-profit think tank co-founded by Lyndon LaRouche in 1974 in New York.
 It promoted the construction of nuclear power plants, research into fusion power and beam weapons and other causes.
 The FEF was called fusion's greatest private supporter.
 It was praised by scientists like John Clarke, who said that the fusion community owed it a "debt of gratitude".
 By 1980, its main publication, "Fusion", claimed 80,000 subscribers.
JET, the Joint European Torus, is the world's largest operational magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment, located at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in Oxfordshire, UK.
 Based on a tokamak design, the fusion research facility is a joint European project with a main purpose of opening the way to future nuclear fusion grid energy.
 More advanced facilities are being developed to follow on the JET research, including the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor and the Demonstration Power Station.
Fusion for Energy (F4E) is the European Union (EU) organisation responsible for Europe’s contribution to ITER, the world’s largest scientific partnership aiming to demonstrate fusion as a viable and sustainable source of energy.
 The organisation – formally known as the European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy –was created under article 45 of the Euratom Treaty by the decision of the Council of the European Union on 27 March 2007 for a period of 35 years.
Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) is an emerging method of producing controlled nuclear fusion.
 It is part of the broad category of inertial fusion energy (IFE) systems, which uses the inward movement of the fusion fuel to reach densities and temperatures where fusion reactions take place.
 Previous IFE experiments used laser "drivers" to reach these conditions, whereas MagLIF uses a combination of lasers for heating and Z-pinch for compression.
 A variety of theoretical considerations suggest such a system will reach the required conditions for fusion with a machine of significantly less complexity than the pure-laser approach.
Robert W. Conn (born December 1, 1942) is President and Chief Executive Officer of The Kavli Foundation, a U.S. based foundation dedicated to the advancement of basic science research and public interest in science.
 A physicist and engineer, Conn is also the current Board Chair of the Science Philanthropy Alliance, an organization that aims to increase private support for basic science research, and Dean Emeritus of the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego).
 In the 1970s and 1980s, Conn participated in some of the earliest studies of fusion energy as a potential source of electricity, and he served on numerous federal panels, committees, and boards advising the government on the subject.
 In the early 1970s, he co-founded the Fusion Technology Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), and in the mid-1980s he led the formation of the Institute of Plasma and Fusion Research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
 As a university administrator in the 1990s and early 2000s, Conn served as Dean of the School of Engineering at UC San Diego as it established several engineering institutes and programs, including the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, known as Calit2, the Center for Wireless Communications, and the Whitaker Center for Biomedical Engineering.
 While at UC San Diego he also led the effort to establish an endowment for the School of Engineering, which began with major gifts from Irwin and Joan Jacobs.
 Irwin M. Jacobs is the co-founder and founding CEO of Qualcomm.
 While Conn was dean, the engineering school was renamed in 1998 the Irwin and Joan Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego.
 Conn's experience in the private sector includes co-founding in 1986 Plasma & Materials Technologies, Inc. (PMT), and serving as Managing Director of Enterprise Partners Venture Capital (EPVC) from 2002 to 2008.
 Over the years he has served on numerous private and public company corporate boards.
 Conn joined The Kavli Foundation in 2009.
 He helped establish the Science Philanthropy Alliance in 2012.
