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.

Differential neutron cross sections of 10B for elastic scattering have been measured for ∼30 incident neutron energies between 4 and 8 Me V. Neutrons inelastically scattered from the 0.717-MeV level were completely resolved from the elastic group except at the most forward angles at energies above 7.5 MeV. Generally, the differential cross sections are slowly varying with energy, indicating little resonance structure in this region. These data are consistent with earlier lower energy measurements done at Edwards Accelerator Laboratory and provide detailed data in a region where only sparse data were previously available to evaluators and designers in the nuclear energy field.
