Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science national laboratory. Scientists worldwide utilize the lab’s unique particle accelerator, known as the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), to probe the most basic building blocks of matter - helping us to better understand these particles and the forces that bind them - and ultimately our world.
In addition, the lab capitalizes on its unique technologies and expertise to perform advanced computing and applied research with industry and university partners, and provides programs designed to help educate the next generation in science and technology.

Fusion Energy: Additional Planning Would Strengthen DOE's Efforts to Facilitate Commercialization
Notes: Private funding includes both U.S. and international funding amounts. The figure may underrepresent private funding because not all private funding is publicly announced. Private funding for fiscal years 2014 and 2017 ranged from about $4 million to $12 million (not visible in the figure). Private sector funding experienced a large increase in fiscal year 2022 to over $3 billion, with nearly two-thirds of this amount going to one U.S. fusion energy company.
DOE's Fusion Energy Science program is the main federal entity tasked with pursuing fusion energy research, development, and commercialization. Appropriated funding amounts are from public budget request documents.
