Startup looks to commercialize inertial fusion energy
Another startup hoping to capitalize on progress the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has made in realizing inertial fusion energy has been launched. On August 27, San Francisco–based Inertia Enterprises, a private fusion power start-up, announced the formation of the company with the goal of commercializing fusion energy.

This paper presents a description of the lattice physics code LANCER02, developed for use on boiling water reactor fuel designs at Global Nuclear Fuel and General Electric Energy, Nuclear. Included in the paper is a detailed description of the methodology used to determine the neutron flux distribution throughout the problem. The paper focuses on single-assembly analysis as well as multibundle analysis along a plane of a reactor core. A small sampling of results from the lattice physics code are compared against results generated by continuous-energy Monte Carlo analysis.
