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.

Main results of researches on plasma heating and confinement of dense plasma in the multimirror trap GOL-3 are presented.Recently magnetic system of the facility was converted into completely multimirror one. This results in further improvement of energy confinement time of plasma with ion temperature ~1 keV. Collective plasma heating by ~120 kJ (~8 s) relativistic electron beam results in Te ~ 2 keV at ~1021 m-3 density. High Te exists for ~10 s. To this time Ti reaches ~2 keV. Ion temperature keeps at the high level during ~1 ms. The energy confinement time sufficiently increases and a value of nE = (1.5 [divide] 3)1018 m-3s.
