FPC plans to perform a variety of appropriate roles in the implementation of fusion power. Armed with its essential proprietary information, the Company’s first goals revolve around the necessity of being joined by natural partners, small and large. Energy industries and particle accelerators involve many different kinds of technologies and skill sets. FPC’s plans for liquid fuel production includ
e petrochemical firms as natural partners. FPC intends to engage elements of all these relevant interests early, to facilitate the smoothest, fastest, and most economical implementation project. Focusing initially on the design will
assure that decisions made early on will stand the test of time as the design matures and moves into construction. The Company’s chief intended activities are illustrated in the figure. Most importantly, the figure points out that FPC intends not to build the fusion power site projects, but to perform roles that are essential to them. Requiring large inflows of capital and participation by some of the world’s largest industrial concern leaders, each of these site projects will necessitate a complex consortium. Before any such consortium can be formed, the design partnership will have completed a full design for a “model” site, made significant headway toward government approval and public acceptance, and obtained feedback from potential consortium participants, some of which already will be participating through the design partnership.
