The invention is for a system and method to reduce neutron production from a deuterum-helium-3 (D- 3 He) fueled, steady-state, small nuclear fusion reactor. The reactor employs a field- reversed configuration (FRC) magnetic confinement scheme and an odd-parity rotating magnetic field (RMF o...
Method, apparatus, and system to reduce neutron production in small clean fusion reactorsThe invention is for a system and method to reduce neutron production from a deuterium-helium-3 (D-He) fueled, steady-state, small nuclear fusion reactor. The reactor employs a field-reversed configuration (...
Advanced Nuclear Technologies generally fall in to one of two categories:Generation 3 water-cooled Small Modular Reactor's; these are similar to existing reactors, but on a smaller scale Generation 4 and beyond Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs); these use innovative cooling systems or fuels to ...
In an attempt to bring experimental conditions closer to those needed for a compact spherical tokamak-based fusion neutron source that could be used as a driver in a hybrid fusion-fission reactor, the Ioffe team completely redesigned the facility with the first full scale Globus-M2 experimental ca...
VTT can support with opportunities related to nuclear fusion, Generation IV nuclear reactors and Small Modular Reactors.
This paper advocates that the first and primary use of fusion neutrons should be as the driver for a sub-critical fission nuclear energy system—a fission–fusion hybrid reactor. This system can also be utilized to transmute long-lived radioactive wastes, and breed fissile nuclear fuel for ...

Nuclear fusion — a carbon-free, infinite source of power that’s safer than atom-splitting fission — has for decades been the Holy Grail of the energy sector. The ultimate fusion reactor is the sun. Hobbyists, including even a middle school student, can create fusion reactions...
Here we show that the introduction of small amounts of nitrogen into an electric-arc reactor allows for the ef®cient production of a new family of stable endohedral fullerenes encapsulating trimetallic nitride clusters, ErxSc3-xN@C80 (x 0±3). This `trimetallic nitride template' process...
