Scientists have just announced a breakthrough in nuclear fusion ignition: For the first time the heart of a powerful fusion reactor has briefly generated more energy than was put into it. But experts are urging caution, saying that the breakthrough, while hugely significant, is still a long wa...
the plasma temperature must reach more than 100 million degrees Celsius. As long as the conditions are not met, the reaction will not occur. Therefore, the nuclear fusion reactor is safe and controllable, and there is no runaway problem. ...
A nuclear fusion reactor has reportedly created more energy than was put into it, for the first time ever. If the experimental results are confirmed, it will prove that fusion is a viable way to meet the planet’s growing energy demands by replicating the reaction that has been occu...

This nuclear reactor may have finally solved fusion's biggest problem. The next frontier for energy is closer than it's ever been.
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have achieved fusion ignition in a nuclear reactor, it was announced on Tuesday. The dream of generating relatively clean, fusion-based power has been pursued for decades. Now, the US Department of Energy and the LLNL believe they are ...
Other Nuclear Fusion Developments Chinese physicists have made a breakthrough that can provide the planet with clean and limitless energy. On December 30, their nuclear fusion reactor, the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, maintained a temperature that was five times the temperature at the ...
Scientists believe fusion plants would be much safer than today's nuclear fission plants — if the process can be mastered. That's the goal of amultinational, multibillion-dollar projectcalled the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, or ITER, which is underconstructionin southern France....
Department of Energy (DOE) announced a nuclear fusion breakthrough. For the first time in history, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved fusion “net energy gain,” releasing more energy than was consumed in the reaction. Immediately, journalists wrote near-utopian articles...
As with other 13.5-nm wavelength light sources, the UoW beam is based on a plasma (xenon). And the UoW fusion lab's specialty is lower-cost versions of a fusion reactor, which uses electric current rather than magnets to contain the plasma and which produces plasma that is stable and lon...
