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.

Fast neutron scattering cross sections have been measured for 13C Angular distributions for elastic scattering over an angular range from 20 to 155 deg are presented for incident neutron energies of 9.97, 11.96, 13.94, 15.94, and 17.92 MeV. Inelastic scattering data were obtained at 9.97 MeV for states at excitation energy 3.09 MeV and for the unresolved states at 3.68 and 3.85 MeV. The data were corrected for finite sample and source effects using a Monte Carlo simulation. Legendre polynomial coefficients for angular distributions and optical model fits to the elastic scattering data are reported.
