Since 1990, the share of the nation's total electricity supply provided by nuclear power generation has averaged about 20%, with increases in nuclear generation that have roughly tracked the growth in total electricity output. Nuclear fission and fusion. The IEA Fusion Power Co-ordinating Committee (FPCC) provides a platform for stakeholders to share results of fusion activities worldwide.
These stakeholders include the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) project, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the European Commission (EURATOM), the International Tokamaks Physics Activity (ITPA), and Nuclear Energy Agency (experiments database). The FPCC also oversees the activities of eight fusion energy technology initiatives (formally known as Implementing Agreements). These initiatives carry out research and development activities in areas ranging from technology to environmental and economic aspects of fusion power. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
