Deep Fission raises $30M in financing
Since the Department of Energy kicked off a 10-company race with its Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program to bring test reactors on line by July 4, 2026, the industry has been waiting for new headlines proclaiming progress. Aalo Atomics broke ahead of the pack first by announcing last week that it had broken ground on its 50-MWe Aalo-X at Idaho National Laboratory.

A simplified model for the calculation of heavy ion ranges on IFE target materials with temperature and density gradients is presented. Such model allows for the calculation of rough estimates of the range for a variety of ablator states. The model assumes ion populations in thermal equilibrium, equilibrium charge state, and neglects any recombination effects. Dependence of all relevant parameters with temperature is determined, and a shortening of the range is observed as target temperature is increased.
