In particular, it focuses on how both aspects are being consid-ered for the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) program (Wilson et al., 2020) which is currently developing both the conceptual design for a prototype power plant as well as a pathway to commercialization on its mission to “Deliver a U.K. prototype fusion energy plant, targeting 2040, and a path to commercial viability of fusion.” Index Terms—Commercialization costs, fusion power genera-tion, fusion reactors, tokamaks. She joined UKAEA, Culham Science Centre, Abingdon, U.K., in 2013 and has held various roles covering fusion power plant integration and cost aspects, where she currently leads the cost modeling team of the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Produc-tion (STEP) program.

Additional DOE funding for fusion research outside the present-day Office of Science is directed toward weapons activities (see "DOE Weapons Programs Research Related to Fusion"), including inertial confinement.55 In FY2025, the DOE inertial confinement fusion budget was approximately $700 million (see **Figure 7**).56 As noted above, in 2022, the NIF at the DOE Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory became the first lab to use a fusion device to achieve "scientific energy breakeven"—when the energy released by the fusion reaction is greater than the energy added directly to the plasma.57 While this work is intended primarily for research to improve stewardship of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, its demonstration of fusion ignition, though lasting less than a nanosecond,58 has increased interest in inertial confinement designs for future power plants.
