Dr. Weston M. Stacey is a research physicist, Professor of Nuclear Engineering at Georgia Tech, and author of leading ebooks on nuclear fusion and nuclear reactor physics. From 1979-88 he led the IAEA INTOR Workshop (documented in his history “The Quest for a Fusion Energy Reactor”) which led to the ITER project in which Europe, USA, Japan, Russia, S. Korea, China, and India are collaborating to build the first experimental fusion power reactor (to operate in the 2020s). He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the American Nuclear Society. The history of his family, who were among the early settlers of Georgia, and of his own rise from a childhood of hunting and fishing in rural south Georgia to become an internationally recognized applied nuclear physicist, is documented in his memoir “From Midway Church to Nuclear Fusion.”
