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.

Based on the existing experimental data and some successful nuclear models that account for the mechanisms of nuclear reaction and details of nuclear structure, we calculate a set of nuclear reaction data for p + 58,60,61,62,64Ni from threshold energy to 200 MeV, which includes different kinds of reaction cross sections, elastic scattering angular distributions, energy spectra, and the double-differential cross sections of six outgoing light particles. On the whole, the theoretical results are in good accordance with the corresponding experimental data, and some improvements are achieved in comparison with the evaluation data of the ENDF/B6 file.
