Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories’ Z pulsed-power accelerator have produced a significant output of fusion neutrons, using a method fully functioning for only little more than a year. The method could be useful as a future energy source if the individual fusion pulses can be sequenced like the firing of an automobile’s cylinders.

Interest in fusion energy is surging today in response to the world’s desperate need for abundant clean power. However, the standard deuterium-tritium (D-T) reaction at the core of conventional fusion reactors conceals big, long-term problems. The company launched in 1998 and is now capitalized at about US $1.25

Advances in magnet technology have enabled researchers at MIT to propose a new design for a practical compact tokamak fusion reactor that might be realized in as little as a decade: the ARC (affordable, robust, compact) reactor. The proposed tokamak (donut-shaped) reactor is designed to have 500 MW fusion power at 3.3
