The UFA is an organization focused on the development of plasma science and technology for the long-term development of a new, environmentally attractive energy source using controlled thermonuclear fusion energy.
Members of the UFA are professional and student researchers in educational institutions throughout the United States.

The UFA supports:

The study of the science of matter under extreme conditions (high temperature and/or density) typical of that required for sustained thermonuclear reactions.
The development of the knowledge and technology necessary for the production of fusion reactivity for commercial applications and electrical power production.
