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.

A simple method for the measurement of the loss of deuteron energy in a solid Ti-T target of a neutron generator is described. The method is based on a comparison of the results of measurements of the full-width at half-maximum of the peak in the spectrum of a collimated T(d,n)4He neutron beam directed at nominal angles of O and 95 deg to the neutron generator axis. The average deuteron energy loss in the solid Ti-T target is estimated to be (58.5 ± 4.0) keV at 150-kV nominal accelerating voltage of the neutron generator. The neutron spectrum measurements were carried out by a 2- × 2-in. NE-213 liquid scintillator. The proton recoil spectra created in the liquid scintillator were unfolded into the neutron energy spectra with the FORIST unfolding code.
