Nuclear fission produces harmful radioactive waste whereas nuclear fusion doesn’t. This is why developing a nuclear fusion reactor ... magnetic confinement. Engineers prefer to use ...

The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor. Achieving the dream of commercial fusion power is the ...

A tokamak is one of the most promising designs for a fusion reactor: a doughnut-shaped device that uses powerful magnetic fields ... lead the way for the future use of ITER.”, ...

Superconducting magnets inside a fusion ... over decades of use. A leading concept for a nuclear fusion reactor is a machine called a tokamak, in which the plasma is confined to a doughnut-shaped ...

According to the firm, the approach eliminates the need for costly lasers or complex machinery, making reactors ... fusion power stations using a new open-field confinement solution for stable ...

A new record for maintaining plasma burning inside a fusion reactor has been set in France, beating China's previous benchmark by 25%.

Plans call for first-generation fusion reactors to use a mixture of deuterium and tritium — heavy types of hydrogen. In theory, with just a few grams of these reactants, it is possible to produce a ...

This hot, electrically charged gas easily becomes unstable, which can lead to lost energy and limit the efficiency of a possible future nuclear fusion reactor. The WEST tokamak machine in southern ...

Quantum Kinetics' research with heavily spiked radioactive water proved that using ... Reactor™ allows for the unique Quantum Kinetic Well® (QKW®) phenomenon, which generates instantaneous ...

What researchers are learning with EAST will be folded into the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, a giant tokamak-type reactor under construction in France, as part of a global effort.
