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.

The neutron-induced nuclear reactions of 46,47,48,49,50,natTi are calculated and analyzed for the CENDL library. First, one set of optimized optical model potential parameters for n + 46,47,48,49,50,natTi below 20 MeV is obtained. Based on these parameters, the complete neutron data are computed though the UNF and DWUCK4 codes for each of the Ti isotopes and the natural nuclide. All of the theoretical results are compared with the experimental data, together with the updated evaluations of other evaluation libraries. In addition, we verify the new results through the benchmark integral measurements from OKTAVIAN.
