In this presentation, we'll explore the key action plan and challenges in developing laser fusion reactors, a potential future energy source. Despite its promise, commercialization faces technical and economic barriers. We'll outline strategies for technological advancement, focusing on designing high-power lasers, reactor material science, and liquid blanket control technology. These advancements are crucial for laser fusion reactor commercialization. We'll also assess the economic viability of these reactors, examining if they can reach a cost-effective level for societal acceptance. Addressing economic concerns, our research aims to contribute to a sustainable energy future, marking a significant step towards realizing next-generation energy sources through laser fusion technology.
