    As of 2022, the record for energy production using nuclear fusion is held by the National Ignition Facility reactor, which achieved a Q of 1.5 in December 2022. [15] Beyond just heating the plasma, the total electricity consumed by the reactor and facilities will range from 110 MW up to 620 MW peak for 30-second periods during plasma operation ...

    Note that many of the reactions form chains. For instance, a reactor fueled with 3 1 T and 3 2 He creates some 2 1 D, which is then possible to use in the 2 1 D – 3 2 He reaction if the energies are "right". An elegant idea is to combine the reactions (8) and (9). The 3 2 He from reaction (8) can react with 6 3 Li in reaction (9) before ...

    By recycling the 3 He decay into the reactor, the fusion reactor does not require materials resistant to fast neutrons. Assuming complete tritium burn-up, the reduction in the fraction of fusion energy carried by neutrons would be only about 18%, so that the primary advantage of the D-D fuel cycle is that tritium breeding is not required.

    University of Illinois Dr. George Miley's team at the fusion studies laboratory has built a ~25 cm fusor which has produced 1 × 10 7 neutrons using deuterium gas. [ 6 ] University of Sydney Dr. Joseph Khachan's group in the Department of Physics has built a variety of IEC devices in both positive and negative polarities and spherical and ...
