    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 ...

    This fusor can reach 85 kV and do deuterium fusion, producing 2.4 × 10 4 neutrons per second. [5] 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]

    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 ...

    The deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reaction is considered the most promising for producing fusion power. Schematic of a DEMO nuclear fusion power plant. When deuterium and tritium fuse, the two nuclei come together to form a resonant state which splits to form in turn a helium nucleus (an alpha particle) and a high-energy neutron. 2 1 H + 3 1 H ...

    Source: BBC News The world has long looked to nuclear fusion, or the fusing of two atoms, as a potential solution to our future energy needs. It is considered a source of energy that has all the ...

  7. Fusion power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power

    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.

    Nuclear fusion is what powers our sun and thermonuclear weapons. It occurs when atomic nuclei merge, or fuse, together, producing a great deal of energy. If we could harness fusion power, it would ...
