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.

Measurements of the energy spectra of delayed neutrons for the isotope-separated, fission product precursors 93-97Rb and 143-145Cs, over the energy region from ∼10 to ∼1300 keV, are reported. These data were obtained at the TRISTAN ISOL facility using gas-filled proton-recoil proportional counters. The data for each of the rubidium and cesium isotopes show good qualitative agreement with the existing 3He ionization chamber data at energies above ∼200 keV. In addition, they provide definitive spectral information down to ∼10 keV. Of particular note is the observation of line structure below ∼200 keV with energy resolution much better than that obtained using 3He ionization chambers.
