In transition: Commercializing fusion power
Commercial fusion power is closer than ever. There are now around 30 U.S. fusion companies, several of which claim to be on track to connect to the grid as early as the 2030s.
Tokamak and laser inertial confinement approaches benefit from decades of research at facilities such as the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and ITER, with alternative concepts including stellarator, magnetic mirror, and Z-pinch confinement also making notable progress as private and government funding for fusion increases.

Comparisons between calculations and experimental data from fuel irradiation experiments performed in Phénix are summarized. Both the French CARNA VAL-IV system and the recently developed JEF-1 basic data file are used. The global consistency of the results is excellent and the compared values are, in general, very satisfactory. In some cases, indications for evaluated data modifications are obtained.
