nature.com Elizabeth Gibney | 27 January 2017 UK’s role in major fusion projects remains in limbo. The UK’s plan to leave Euratom has thrown into doubt the future of the Joint European Torus (JET), a nuclear-fusion facility in Culham, UK. Scientists are shocked and angry at the UK government’s sudden confirmation on 26 January that … Read more
Fusion for Energy 24 January 2017 The process of assembly has started: The first two of JT-60SA’s TF coils are in place in the tokamak With the placement of the first two, of the total 18, Toroidal Field (TF) coils in the tokamak, the complex process of assembling this magnet has started at the JT-60SA … Read more
Huffington Post 25/01/2017 Fusion is the “holy grail” of energy generation. Imagine a world where electricity can be produced virtually limitlessly without harming the environment. This is the promise of nuclear fusion technology. By harnessing the same reaction that powers the Sun, it could usher in a new era of energy generation. Now a British … Read more
PBS | January 18, 2017 JUDY WOODRUFF: But first: the hunt to create fusion energy. While many people remain worried about pursuing further development of nuclear power, some researchers believe nuclear fusion could hold the key to clean and plentiful energy. There have been many false starts before, but some scientists see real reason for … Read more
By: Tom D. Tamarkin Jan. 20, 2017 Proposal for privately funded fusion energy experimental science, R&D leading to commercialization Abstract The world will soon face an energy crisis of monumental proportions which many ignore. By 2050 we must significantly increase total energy production or face a need for worldwide redistribution of wealth and energy allocation … Read more
PFSC Paul Rivenberg | PSFC | January 18, 2017 “I was interested in clean energy. In a physics textbook, on literally the last page, they made a reference to fusion, ‘the power source of the future.’ I was intrigued and decided to find out more.” Brandon Sorbom, Graduate Student, PSFC Lillie Paquette / MIT School … Read more
