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.

Preliminary characterizations on Li isotope separation with Li ionic conductors were carried out. Three types of Li ionic conductors, which were a spinel Li4Ti5O12, a perovskite La0.55Li0.35TiO3 and a ramsdellite Li2Ti3O7 from the Li2O-TiO2 system, were selected. Electric conductivity and Li isotope separation efficiency were measured for each of the Li ionic conductors. It was shown from the results that each Li ionic conductor has sufficient electric conductivity and high Li isotope separation efficiency. Li isotope separation factors of three of the Li ionic conductors compare with that of the amalgamation process with mercury.
