Abstract
The Senior Committee on Environmental, Safety, and Economic Aspects of Magnetic Fusion Energy (ESECOM) was organized in late 1985 to provide an up-to-date assessment of magnetic fusion energy's prospects for meeting this last requirement. This report summarized our findings. We have given particular attention to the interaction environmental, safety, and economic characteristics in fusion-reactor design and to the identification of those directions within fusion technology that seem most likely to lead to combinations of the above characteristics that would make fusion an attractive long-term energy source compared to (or in symbiosis with) fission and other options. We did not explicitly consider inertial-confinement fusion, but, inevitably, some of our findings are relevant to the inertial-confinement approach as well as to magnetic confinement.
