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.

Three neutron transport problems involving two different media are solved in two-group theory for isotropic scattering based on the singular-eigenfunction-expansion solution of the transport equation. This work has two purposes: First, it is shown that two-media problems in two-group theory can be reduced to regular computational forms using the half-range orthogonality theorem; second, in support of benchmark activities, three model problems are defined, and their solutions are reported based on an exact theory.
