Five New Fusion Prospects, Minus the Neutrons

Cars That Think

Gerald Kulcinski, University of Wisconsin A new breed of maverick fusioneers is aiming to solve the neutron problem. Their approach is to swap D-T fuels for readily available elements that, when fused, release energy that’s carried by charged particles, instead of neutrons. They also produce little or no radioactive waste.
