Sec. __. That the Committee directs the Government Accountability Office to undertake a study of the Office of Science Fusion Energy program in order to define the roles of the major domestic facilities, DIIID, Alcator C-Mod, and NSTX in the support of the International Thermoelectric Reactor program, including making recommendations that may include the possible shutdown or consolidation of operations or focus of these facilities to maximize their value to the International Thermoelectric Reactor program: Provided, That given the major international commitment to International Thermoelectric Reactor and the tokamak concept, the GAO shall consider any other magnetic fusion confinement system as a possible fusion demonstration facility that will follow International Thermoelectric Reactor and given the major National Nuclear Security Administration investment in the physics of Inertial Confinement Fusion, the GAO shall evaluate the opportunities for the Office of Science to develop the appropriate science and technology to leverage the National Nuclear Security Administration investment as an alternative to the tokamak concept.
