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.

Triton angular distributions and forward-to-backward emission ratios for the 6Li(n,t)4He reaction were measured in the incident neutron energy range from 10 eV to 325 keV using pulsed white-spectrum neutrons provided by the Geel Electron Linear Accelerator (GELINA) facility. The angular distributions were measured with a new ionization detector, which offers an advantageous 2π geometry and nanosecond timing capability. Comparison is made between the angular distribution data obtained from this work and the results of calculations based on the compound model and on a direct reaction model involving a deuteron exchange mechanism in the s-wave channel.
