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.

The pressure-composition isotherms for the LaNi3Mn2 -H and D systems were obtained in the temperature range 25–300 C. The absorption plateau pressure increases from 4 Pa at 25 C to 200 kPa at 300 C. Further tests on practical characteristics such as extensive absorption-desorption cycles, the reactivity of the alloy in air, and so on were carried out. The results show that the LaNi3Mn2 alloy may be useful as a candidate for recovery and supply of tritium.
