 Status Of DOE's Implementation

 Of The Magnetic Fusion Energy

 Engineering Act Of 1980


 The Magnetic Fusion Energy Engineering
 Act of 1980 authorized an accelerated and
 ambitious research and development program
 directed toward the commercial demonstra-
 tion of nuclear fusion--a potentially in-
 exhaustible source of energy--by the end of
 the century. Although progress has been
 made, funding for the program has not been
 sustained at the levels envisioned in the act.
 Consequently, DOE has adjusted its fusion
 research program and revised its fusion
 development strategy to fit available and
 projected funding levels.

 GAO believes that DOE needs to explain and
justify its revised fusion development
strategy to the Congress. The appropriate
place is the act's required comprehensive
program management plan to be submitted
to relevant congressional committees. Ac-
cording to DOE, budget uncertainties ini-
tially delayed preparation of the plan and its
final issuance is now being held up by
extensive reviews both internally and by the
Executive Office of the President.
