                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
             CHAPTER 101--MAGNETIC FUSION ENERGY ENGINEERING
 
Sec. 9305. Magnetic fusion engineering center


(a) Development plan

    The Secretary shall develop a plan for the creation of a national 
magnetic fusion engineering center for the purpose of accelerating 
fusion technology development via the concentration and coordination of 
major magnetic fusion engineering devices and associated activities at 
such a national center.

(b) Factors considered in formulation of development plan

    In developing the plan, the Secretary shall include relevant factors 
including, but not limited to--
        (1) means of saving cost and time through the establishment of 
    the national center relative to the cost and schedule currently 
    projected for the program;
        (2) means of providing common facilities to be shared by many 
    magnetic fusion concepts;
        (3) assessment of the environmental and safety-related aspects 
    of the national center;
        (4) provisions for international cooperation in magnetic fusion 
    activities at the national center;
        (5) provision of access to facilities for the broader technical 
    involvement of domestic industry and universities in the magnetic 
    fusion energy program;
        (6) siting criteria for the national center including a list of 
    potential sites;
        (7) the advisability of establishing such a center considering 
    all factors, including the alternative means and associated costs of 
    pursuing such technology; and
        (8) changes in the management structure of the magnetic fusion 
    program to allow more effective direction of activities related to 
    the national center.

(c) Report to Congressional committees

    The Secretary shall submit not later than July 1, 1981, a report to 
the House Committee on Science and Technology and the Senate Committee 
on Energy and Natural Resources characterizing the plan and setting 
forth the steps necessary for implementation of the plan, including any 
steps already implemented.
