• WHAT IS FUSION?.
• Fusion is the process that powers the sun and the stars. ... The easiest fusion reaction to make happen is combining deuterium (or “heavy hydrogen) with tritium (or “heavy-heavy hydrogen”) to make helium and a neutron. ... Tritium can be produced by combining the fusion neutron with the abundant light metal lithium. Thus fusion has the potential to be an inexhaustible source of energy.
• To make fusion happen, the atoms of hydrogen must be heated to very high temperatures (100 million degrees) so they are ionized (forming a plasma) and have sufficient energy to fuse, and then be held together i. ... confined, long enough for fusion to occur. ... More practical approaches on earth are magnetic confinement, where a strong magnetic field holds the ionized atoms together while they are heated by microwaves or other energy sources, and inertial confinement, where a tiny pellet of frozen hydrogen is compressed and heated by an intense energy beam, such as a laser, so quickly that fusion occurs before the atoms can fly apart.
• Who cares? Scientists have sought to make fusion work on earth for over 40 years. ... In addition, fusion would be environmentally friendly, producing no combustion products or greenhouse gases. While fusion is a nuclear process, the products of the fusion reaction (helium and a neutron) are not radioactive, and with proper design a fusion power plant would be passively safe, and would produce no long-lived radioactive waste. Design studies show that electricity from fusion should be about the same cost as present day sources.
• We’re getting close! While fusion sounds simple, the details are difficult and exacting. ... A lot of science and engineering had to be learned to get fusion to where we are today. Both magnetic and inertial fusion programs expect to build their next experiments that will reach ignition and produce more energy than they consume shortly after the year 2000. ...

• President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev began a process that led to a collaboration among the European Union, Japan, Russia (initially the Soviet Union) and the US, to design and carry out the supporting research and development for ITER, whose programmatic objective is 'to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy for peaceful purposes'.
• The Facility: ITER is an international collaboration to build the first fusion science experiment capable of producing a self-sustaining fusion reaction, called a “burning plasma. ” It is the next essential and critical step on the path toward demonstrating the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy.
• Background: Fusion is the power source of the sun and the stars. ... The ability to contain this reaction, and harness the energy from it, are among the important goals of fusion research.
• What’s New: Recent advances in computer modeling and in our understanding of the physics of fusion give us confidence that we can now build ITER successfully. ... ITER will also serve as a test-bed for additional fusion powerplant technologies.
• Applications: ITER is the next big step toward making fusion energy a reality. Fusion energy is particularly attractive as a future energy source because it is environmentally benign (it produces no air pollution and no carbon dioxide, and it does not create long-lived radioactive waste); its fuels are easily extracted from ordinary water and from lithium, an abundant element; and it can be generated on demand and in sufficient capacity to power large cities and industries.

• Welcome to LANL's Fusion Energy Sciences Web site!.
• LANL Fusion Energy Sciences.
• Mission:  Develop practical fusion energy as a solution to the long-term energy problems facing society.
• Program Overview:  The Los Alamos fusion energy program was started by James Tuck in 1951 (about the same time that Lyman Spitzer began fusion work at Princeton).   The pioneering Los Alamos work utilized the "pinch" effect for confining a fusion plasma. Similar concepts are found in today's Los Alamos work on Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF). ...   Besides MTF, Los Alamos fusion energy projects include experiments on other fusion energy concepts, and theoretical modeling of fusion energy plasmas.   In addition to this fusion physics work, Los Alamos is contributing fusion energy science with a variety of supporting fusion technology topics, notably tritium technology and inertial fusion target fabrication. ...
• The Los Alamos theory work spans "conventional" magnetic confinement fusion and  so-called "alternate concepts" such a the Field Reversed Configuration, Reversed Field Pinches, and  Magnetized Target Fusion. ...   The fusion technology work supports both magnetic fusion energy and inertial fusion energy concepts.   The program benefits greatly from interacting with the many disciplines found at Los Alamos such as the inertial confinement fusion program.   The Los Alamos fusion program is closely integrated with related work throughout the US and elsewhere in the world.
• Fusion energy sciences research is managed at LANL by the Fusion Energy Sciences Office as part of the Office of Science.
• More can be learned about Los Alamos fusion by following the links below or by contacting Dr. Glen Wurden for fusion physics topics or Dr. Scott Willms for fusion technology topics. ...

• Researchers Report Bubble Fusion Results Replicated.
• Physical Review E publishes paper on fusion experiment conducted with upgraded measurement system.
• — Physical Review E has announced the publication of an article by a team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Purdue University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the Russian Academy of Science (RAS) stating that they have replicated and extended previous experimental results that indicated the occurrence of nuclear fusion using a novel approach for plasma confinement.
• This approach, called bubble fusion, and the new experimental results are being published in an extensively peer-reviewed article titled “Additional Evidence of Nuclear Emissions During Acoustic Cavitation,” which is scheduled to be posted on Physical Review E’s Web site and published in its journal this month.
• These new data were taken with an upgraded instrumentation system that allowed data acquisition over a much longer time than was possible in the team’s previous bubble fusion experiments. ... Tritium, which also is produced during the fusion reactions, was measured and the amount produced was found to be consistent with the observed neutron production rate.
• 295, March 2002), indicated that nuclear fusion had occurred, but these data were questioned because they were taken with less precise instrumentation.
• Other fusion techniques, such as those that use strong magnetic fields or lasers to contain the plasma, cannot easily achieve the necessary compression, Lahey said. ...
• Professor Lahey also explained that, unlike fission reactors, fusion does not produce a significant amount of radioactive waste products or decay heat. Tritium gas, a radioactive by-product of deuterium-deuterium bubble fusion, is actually a part of the fuel, which can be consumed in deuterium-tritium fusion reactions.
• Researchers Rusi Taleyarkhan, Colin West, and Jae-Seon Cho conducted the bubble fusion experiments at ORNL. ...
• These computer codes indicated that the peak gas temperatures and densities in the ORNL experiments were sufficiently high to create fusion reactions. Indeed, the theoretical shock code predictions of deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion were consistent with the ORNL data.
• The bubble fusion research program was supported by a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

• Plasmas and Fusion Technology.
• The University of Wisconsin - Madison is a world leader in plasmas and fusion technology, with experimental and theoretical programs in several departments. ...
