在可行的情况下，地球上低成本、丰富、对环境有吸引力的核聚变能源应尽快应用于气候变化、能源供应、经济增长和发展中国家等紧迫的全球挑战。在劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室（LLNL）最近完成的国家点火装置（NIF）中，一项国家点火运动正在进行，目的是在2010-2012年的时间框架内点燃高增益惯性聚变目标。实现NIF的点火可以成为国家和全球领导人支持惯性聚变能（IFE）发展的催化剂，以满足未来全球电力需求。有了持续的、高优先级的资金支持，到2020年是否有可能实现实际的IFE ？答案在于社区如何在四个关键领域解决和解决技术挑战：实现点火，生产先进的目标和驱动器，创造实用的聚变发动机，以及开发经济的聚变发电厂。
As soon as practical, Earth's low-cost, abundant, environmentally attractive fusion energy resources should be applied to the urgent global challenges of climate change, energy supply, economic growth, and the developing world. A National Ignition Campaign is under way at the recently completed National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to ignite high-gain inertial fusion targets in the 2010–2012 time frame. Achieving ignition on NIF could be the catalyst for national and global leaders to support the development of inertial fusion energy (IFE) to meet the future's worldwide electric power demand. With sustained, high-priority funding could practical IFE be possible by the 2020 timeframe? The answer lies in how well can the community address and solve technical challenges in four key areas: achieving ignition, producing advanced targets and drivers, creating a practical fusion engine, and developing economical fusion power plants.
