The first Soviet fusion bomb test, RDS-6s, American codename "Joe 4", demonstrated the first fission/fusion/fission "layercake" design, limited below the megaton range, with less than 20% of the yield coming directly from fusion. It was quickly superseded by the Teller-Ulam design. This was the first aerial drop of a fusion weapon.
Dennis Whyte, who headed MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center and is now at a commercial spinoff, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, said the NIF ignition had a gain (the ratio of power released to ...
The need for a fusion pilot plant has been recognized throughout the program to develop fusion power.Most recently before the announcement of the Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program, in 2021 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) released a report which highlighted the need for such a program and advised its creation.
