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.

The neutron total cross section of 10B has been determined between 90 and 420 keV neutron energy by means of a transmission measurement on a boron sample enriched in 10B. Deviations in shape from other measurements are within the statistical accuracy of the present measurement and are smaller than 1.5%. In the measured energy region, no indication of narrow resonance structure was found, and the deviation of the total cross section from an E−1/2 energy dependence above 100 keV was confirmed. An analysis using the R-matrix formalism showed that this deviation can be associated with the 7/2+ s-wave resonance at 370 keV.
