Zap Energy hits 37-million-degree electron temperatures in compact fusion device
Zap Energy announced April 23 that it has reached 1-3 keV plasma electron temperatures—roughly the equivalent of 11 to 37 million degrees Celsius—using its sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch approach to fusion. Reaching temperatures above that of the sun’s core (which is 10 million degrees Celsius temperature) is just one hurdle required before any fusion confinement concept can realistically pursue net gain and fusion energy.

Many utilities are experiencing large numbers of new to nuclear hires and rapid progression and promotion of employees within their organizations as we experience higher levels of employee attrition. This session will explore multiple approaches to developing our supervisors and managers and leveraging training to provide technical related content to improve plant knowledge and developmental courses to improve leadership skills and maintain a strong organization through these personnel changes.
