One step closer to controlling nuclear fusion

[OKIsItJustMe]

8. I知 pulling for fusion, but I知 not confident it is inevitable

We have a number of global problems to deal with.

If there should be a global scale social collapse, that might make something like rolling out large fusion facilities difficult.

DT Experiment Sets Record for Neutron Yield[/font]
[font size=3]The National Ignition Campaign (NIC) team completed a layered cryogenic deuterium-tritium (DT) shot on Dec. 15; 190 NIF beams delivered 1.41 megajoules (MJ) of ultraviolet light to the hohlraum. Good target diagnostic data were acquired on all electronic detector diagnostics, including a time-integrated neutron image on the Neutron Imaging System and a time-resolved implosion x-ray image on the Active Readout in a Neutron Environment (ARIANE) diagnostic.

Data from the diagnostics indicated that neutron yield was about 7 × 10[font size="1"]¹⁴[/font] (700 trillion), a record yield for this type of experiment.
