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.

Cross sections of the 58Ni(n,p)58Co, 51Co(n,p)59Fe, 51V(n,α)48Sc, and 59Co(n,2n)58Co reactions and isomer ratios for the 58Ni(n,p)58Co reaction were measured for some neutron energies between 9 and 14 MeV. Neutron spectrometry, with an NE-213 scintillation detector, of the beams from the D(d,n)3He reaction was used to evaluate the activation induced by breakup neutrons on natural nickel, cobalt, vanadium, and aluminum-monitor targets. The results are compared with earlier measurements and with theoretical calculations performed with the aid of the GNASH code (Hauser-Feschbach model including pre-equilibrium corrections).
