DOE previously funded such approaches through a program called High Energy Density Plasma (HEDP).

He was cited «for many outstanding contributions to the theoretical plasma physics of low and high energy density plasmas, open and closed magnetic configurations, and laboratory and astrophysical systems.»

At Sandia National Laboratory, Myers works on the Z machine, the world's most powerful pulsed - power facility and x-ray generator, which produces high energy density plasmas that are used to study fusion and the physics of nuclear weapons.

These promising new directions include higher fusion power densities, and hence smaller reactors; development of «transport barriers» in the plasma, leading to improved energy confinement and smaller sizes; self - driven plasma currents that permit steady - state operation and low recirculating power; and the development of advanced divertor concepts to provide particle control and heat removal over long reactor lifetimes.
