In April 2023, we reported on federal efforts to streamline fusion energy regulations. At that time, the Commissioners of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) voted to approve a proposal expected ...
First Light Fusion is developing an inertial fusion with a pulsed process. They fire physical projectiles at high speeds like 40 kilometers per second to generate fusion OR they may use high-power ...
Start-ups say we’re closer than ever to near-limitless, zero-carbon energy from fusion. When will we get there? DIII-D National Fusion Facility, operated by General Atomics, and Lawrence Livermore ...
The UK Atomic Energy Authority has begun using two additive manufacturing - or 3D printing - machines that use complementary methods to manufacture highly specialised components for fusion machines.
