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 new approach has been proposed to solve the transport equation for nonuniform lattices. The assumptions made permit transformation of the response matrix scheme into a diffusion-type equation and the specification of the boundary conditions of the cell problems to be solved. The new approach uses quantities that can be considered as a generalization of the diffusion coefficient.
