Abstract

The US ITER Research Program Basic Research Needs Workshop, held over the course of several months in 2022 with over 400 participants, sought to identify steps to be taken to both maximize the return of the US investment in ITER construction and operation and to ensure US research priorities on ITER strengthen the domestic program aimed at the development of a fusion pilot plant (FPP).
