That’s when you need Abyssal Void Fusion Reactor parts. This process … Read more
Enlarge / One of the reactor components during a leak test. On Tuesday, the people running the experimental fusion reactor ITER announced that a combination of delays and shifting priorities meant the first hardware of its kind wouldn’t see plasma until 2036, while full power from deuterium-tritium fusion was pushed back to 2039. The latter … Read more
According to Director General Pietro Barabaschi, the commissioning of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in France has been delayed by 15 years. The first test of the ITER fusion reactor is now expected to reach full magnetic energy in 2036 – a three-year delay from the 2016 baseline – while the start of the … Read more
This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected to the divertor plasma region via the so-called final confinement surface. The long and thin lobes fluctuate in time and space.
