Startup looks to commercialize inertial fusion energy
Another startup hoping to capitalize on progress the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has made in realizing inertial fusion energy has been launched. On August 27, San Francisco–based Inertia Enterprises, a private fusion power start-up, announced the formation of the company with the goal of commercializing fusion energy.

Validation of thermal-hydraulic codes for system design and safety analysis is dependent on applicable and appropriately scaled experimental data. There are several scaling methodologies for justifying the use of data from small-scale facilities for simulation of large-scale reactor systems. These methods continue to be improved and extended to new situations. This panel will discuss the "art of scaling" and progress in development of scaling methods.
