The need to decarbonize central power production and the recent demonstration of fusion ignition and scientific gain greater than 1 at the National Ignition facility has renewed interest in Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE). The presentation will both summarize the present state of fusion physics, and the challenges and opportunities for a program focused on IFE.
