SEC. 972. FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES PROGRAM. 
(a) DECLARATION
OF POLICY.—It shall be the policy of the 
United States to conduct research, development, demonstration, 
and 
commercial 
applications 
to 
provide 
for 
the 
scientific, 
engineering, and commercial infrastructure necessary to ensure 
that the United States is competitive with other countries in pro-
viding fusion energy for its own needs and the needs of other 
countries, including by demonstrating electric power or hydrogen

production for the United States energy grid using fusion energy 
at the earliest 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 estimates, budgets, and lists of 
potential international partners) for the implementation of the 
policy described in subsection (a) in a manner that ensures 
that— 
(A) existing fusion research facilities are more fully 
used; 
(B) fusion science, technology, theory, advanced com-
putation, modeling, and simulation are strengthened; 
(C) new magnetic and inertial fusion research and 
development facilities are selected based on scientific 
innovation and cost effectiveness, and the potential of the 
facilities to advance 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 community 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 magnetic fusion 
energy approaches are more fully explored; and 
(H) to the extent practicable, the recommendations 
of the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee in the 
report on workforce planning, dated March 2004, are car-
ried out, including periodic reassessment of program needs. 
(2) COSTS AND SCHEDULES.—The plan shall also address 
the status of and, to the extent practicable, costs and schedules 
for— 
(A) the design and implementation of international 
or national facilities for the testing of fusion materials; 
and 
(B) the design and implementation of international 
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 ‘‘construction’’ means— 
(I) the physical construction of the ITER 
facility; and 
(II) the physical construction, purchase, or 
manufacture of equipment or components that are 
specifically designed for the ITER facility. 
(ii) EXCLUSIONS.—The term ‘‘construction’’ does not 
include the design of the facility, equipment, or compo-
nents. 
(B) ITER.—The term ‘‘ITER’’ means the international 
burning plasma fusion research project in which the Presi-
dent announced United States participation on January 
30, 2003, or any similar international project.
