ABSTRACT This is not your father's fusion reactor! Forget everything you know about conventional thinking on nuclear 
fusion: high-temperature plasmas, steam turbines, neutron radiation and even nuclear waste are a thing of the past. 
Goodbye thermonuclear fusion; hello inertial electrostatic confinement fusion (IEC), an old idea that's been made new. 
While the international community debates the fate of the politically-turmoiled $12 billion ITER (an experimental 
thermonuclear reactor), simple IEC reactors are being built as high-school science fair projects. Dr. Robert Bussard, 
former Asst. Director of the Atomic Energy Commission and founder of Energy Matter Conversion Corporation (EMC2), has 
spent 17 years perfecting IEC, a fusion process that converts hydrogen and boron directly into electricity producing 
helium as the only waste product.
