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.

Activation cross sections for 14 (n, 2n) and 5 (n, p) reactions on xenon isotopes have been determined with 14.6-MeV neutrons using sodium perxenate and Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectroscopy. The values obtained are compared to the one earlier set of measurements on the xenon isotopes and to theoretical or empirical values. The 128Xe(n,p)128I cross section is reported for the first time.
