SEC. 962. FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES PROGRAM. 
(a) DECLARATION OF POLICY.—It shall be the policy 
of the United States to conduct research, development, dem-
onstration, and commercial applications to provide for the 
scientific, engineering, and commercial infrastructure nec-
essary to ensure that the United States is competitive with 
other countries in providing fusion energy for its own needs 
and the needs of other countries, including by dem-
onstrating electric power or hydrogen production for the 
United States energy grid using fusion energy at the ear-
liest date. 
(b) PLANNING.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after 
the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall 
submit to Congress a plan (with proposed cost esti-
mates, budgets, and lists of potential international 
partners) for the implementation of the policy de-
scribed in subsection (a) in a manner that ensures 
that— 
(A) existing fusion research facilities are 
more fully used;
680 
HR 6 PAP 
(B) fusion science, technology, theory, ad-
vanced computation, modeling, and simulation 
are strengthened; 
(C) new magnetic and inertial fusion re-
search and development facilities are selected 
based on scientific innovation and cost effective-
ness, and the potential of the facilities to ad-
vance the goal of practical fusion energy at the 
earliest date practicable; 
(D) facilities that are selected are funded at 
a cost-effective rate; 
(E) communication of scientific results and 
methods between the fusion energy science com-
munity and the broader scientific and technology 
communities is improved; 
(F) inertial confinement fusion facilities are 
used to the extent practicable for the purpose of 
inertial fusion energy research and development; 
(G) attractive alternative inertial and mag-
netic fusion energy approaches are more fully ex-
plored; and 
(H) to the extent practicable, the rec-
ommendations of the Fusion Energy Sciences 
Advisory Committee in the report on workforce

HR 6 PAP 
planning, dated March 2004, are carried out, in-
cluding periodic reassessment of program needs. 
(2) COSTS
AND
SCHEDULES.—The plan shall 
also address the status of and, to the extent prac-
ticable, costs and schedules for— 
(A) the design and implementation of inter-
national or national facilities for the testing of 
fusion materials; and 
(B) the design and implementation of inter-
national or national facilities for the testing and 
development of key fusion technologies. 
(c) UNITED STATES PARTICIPATION IN ITER.— 
(1) DEFINITIONS.—In this subsection: 
(A) CONSTRUCTION.— 
(i) IN GENERAL.—The term ‘‘construc-
tion’’ means— 
(I) the physical construction of 
the ITER facility; and 
(II) the physical construction, 
purchase, or manufacture of equipment 
or components that are specifically de-
signed for the ITER facility. 
(ii) EXCLUSIONS.—The term ‘‘con-
struction’’ does not include the design of the 
facility, equipment, or components.
682 
HR 6 PAP 
(B) ITER.—The term ‘‘ITER’’ means the 
international burning plasma fusion research 
project in which the President announced United 
States participation on January 30, 2003, or 
any similar international project. 
(2) PARTICIPATION.—The United States may 
participate in the ITER only in accordance with this 
subsection. 
(3) AGREEMENT.— 
(A) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary may nego-
tiate an agreement for United States participa-
tion in the ITER. 
(B) CONTENTS.—Any agreement for United 
States participation in the ITER shall, at a 
minimum— 
(i) clearly define the United States fi-
nancial contribution to construction and 
operating costs, as well as any other costs 
associated with a project; 
(ii) ensure that the share of high-tech-
nology components of the ITER manufac-
tured in the United States is at least pro-
portionate to the United States financial 
contribution to the ITER;
683 
HR 6 PAP 
(iii) ensure that the United States will 
not be financially responsible for cost over-
runs in components manufactured in other 
ITER participating countries; 
(iv) guarantee the United States full 
access to all data generated by the ITER; 
(v) enable United States researchers to 
propose and carry out an equitable share of 
the experiments at the ITER;
