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.

Measured cross-section data of the 10B(n,α1)7 Li reaction in the energy region from 0.1 to 2.0 MeV are treated by a renormalization procedure. Renormalization constants are applied to results of seven different experiments, keeping their energy-dependent shapes unaltered. The procedure provides quantitative arguments to reject some discrepant results, and it yields recommended values that are lower than the cross-section values of the ENDF/B-IV file.
