Deep Fission to break ground this week
With about seven months left in the race to bring DOE-authorized test reactors on line by July 4, 2026, via the Reactor Pilot Program, Deep Fission has announced that it will break ground on its associated project on December 9 in Parsons, Kansas. It’s one of many companies in the program that has made significant headway in recent months.

Poloidal rotation balance equation is obtained to have various bifurcation types of the solutions when various loss mechanisms arc considered in tokamak plasmas. L/H transition in medium sized devices is predicted to be hard type and that in large sized devices tends to become soft type. Ion loss due to bulk viscosity is found to be negligible compared to ion loss cone loss for the typical parameter regime of tokamaks.
