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.

Neutron spectra have been measured by the time-of-flight method from 1 eV to 2 keV at various positions across depleted uranium and borated polyethylene in slab geometry with an energy resolution of 0.9% at 6.68 eV. The observed behavior around the 6.68-eV resonance in 238U has been compared with the predictions of the transport theory code 1DF in S4 and S6 approximations using different quadratures and spatial representations. The space-averaged flux has been calculated with the slowing down code GAROL. The 1DF calculations agree reasonably well with experiment and the GAROL values.
