“The progress made is encouraging....”, well, perhaps not given that the 69 megajoules was achieved after some 60 years of research at Culham , and came at an efficiency of about 1%.
What a load of greenwashing BS. Those graphics are the impossible physics produced by AI image generation.
BTW there is not a single star in the entire universe that creates energy like any proposed fusion reactor, stars use the PP reaction for most small stars and the CNO reaction for larger stars and some use both. The CNO reaction is 10,000 more productive than the PP reaction and allows for large stars to burn up their fuel in a few million years. Most human designed reactors use the DT or possibly the DD, or DH3 and PB11 reactions, all of which require temps of 25M (DT) to 100M or more.
Incase you didn't know neutrons are dangerous when emitted from both fission and fusion reactions.
In fission those neutrons are part of a controlled chain reaction and there is a fission gain of about 2.6 to 3 or so.
In fusion those neutrons are the result of Deuterium and Tritium fusing to release low energy helium and high energy neutrons which are needed to produce Tritium in a blanket.
In reality those neutrons will irradiate the containment vessel, most neutrons will never replace themselves with a Tritium nucleus in the blanket and most of the Tritium fed into the plasma will never burn and will have to be collected for another try. BTW Tritium is highly radioactive and almost all of it comes from Candu fission reactors that are all shutting down because of the greens.
The JET lab produce some fusion output examples that took decades to achieve, these fusion burns need to happen 24/365 for decades, not a few secs every decade. And every fusion event ever achieved on earth was at the expense of energy inputs millions of time greater than the output.
Fusion energy is a race to Alice in Wonderland energy that doesn't exist, but fission does exist and is far cleaner than fusion. The race to fusion allows for fossil power to backup intermitent energy for many decades to come while fission power can eliminate fossil power for good right now as it did in France when they faced the oil embargo in the 1970.
Fusion is safer in case of reactor failure.
But today's stage where we are doesn't give us any hope of commercialisation of fusion.
We build large tokamak reactors instead of searching for a creative ideas how to run them at:
-higher beta (typical value 2.5% while power density is proportional to beta^2)
-higher temperature (as curve of reactivity of DT plasma has maximum at 30-50 keV while achivable today temperature is around 10 keV)
-DT reaction as such is impractical. As difficult to justify investment when you know that first wall (vacuum vessel) will invetably damage very soon and will be radioactive requiring remote handling for replacement.
That is very costly procedure if to imagine - around huge vacuum vessele there in ITER are 18 toroidal field magnets weighing 310 tons each. That is covered by monstrous cryostat.
And evry about one year you should replace vacuum vessel and then assemble the entire machine.
Only aneutronic reactions has a future.
High beta and much higher than achivable today temperatures
What is breakthrough? Did it actually create a net positive power output?
Scary silly people check out the video in the comments to get some answeres.
5 secs lol. the Korean KSTAR has reached 48 secs so far.
It’s just 300 more years away
