Fusion energy: Progress, partnerships, and the path to deployment
Over the past decade, fusion energy has moved decisively from scientific aspiration toward a credible pathway to a new energy technology. Thanks to long-term federal support, we have significantly advanced our fundamental understanding of plasma physics—the behavior of the superheated gases at the heart of fusion devices. This knowledge will enable the creation and control of fusion fuel under conditions required for future power plants. Our progress is exemplified by breakthroughs at the National Ignition Facility and the Joint European Torus.

Applications of the Monte Carlo method have been summarized relevant to neutron streaming problems of interest in the shield design for the fusion materials irradiation test facility. An improved angular biasing method has been implemented to further optimize the calculation of streaming, and this method has been applied to calculate streaming within a double bend pipe.
