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.

Various titanium and palladium metal and hydride preparations have been subjected to D2 gas loading at pressures up to 2.4 kbars followed by temperature cycling. Neutron yield was monitored in an underground laboratory with a detection system with a counting efficiency of ∼9.2% and a background of 10 count/h. No clearly identified neutron yield in excess of background has been detected.
