13 hours ago · For more than 70 years, humanity has been pursuing the dream of turning nuclear fusion (when the nuclei of two atoms fuse together, the opposite of fission, which separates them) into a source of energy that is expected to be safe, clean (it creates waste, but it is very manageable and it does not emit greenhouse gases) and almost inexhaustible: its main fuels are easily found in nature (for example, seawater as a source of deuterium atoms). But until that December night, when that tiny ...
2 days ago · “CHADWICK expands our focus to making fusion power plants operationally and economically viable by developing a high performance and durable first wall.”A major obstacle to commercial fusion power is the lifetime and maintainability of the first wall, which bears the power plant’s mechanical load and protects plant components from the extreme environment (heat and particles) in the core.
4 days ago · Fusion Energy is Very Competitive. The competition in the fusion energy market is not just healthy; it's exhilarating. The speakers from Zap Energy, Thea Energy, Type-One Energy, Avalanche Fusion, Commonwealth Fusion, and General Fusion are championing their unique methods for commercially viable fusion energy. This diversity of approaches ...

5 days ago · For fusion energy to become economically viable, the price per kilowatt-hour of energy should drastically be reduced, he warned. ‘And if cheap fusion power would become available, it would be most beneficial for inland regions where the local demand exceeds the renewable potential, like in the east of the Netherlands, or the north-eastern part of France.
