World’s first: Fusion reaction produced more energy than was utilized to ignite it

- By Nuadox Crew -

Today, the U.S. Energy Department announced that scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California created more energy in a fusion reaction than was required to ignite it.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm stated that the achievement might pave the way for advancements in national security and sustainable energy.

Fusion proponents believe that it will one day produce almost limitless, carbon-free energy, supplanting fossil fuels and other traditional energy sources.

However, in order for fusion to be economically viable, it will need to provide significant power over a long period of time.

Researchers 70% of the Way towards Fusion Ignition

Researchers using the world’s largest laser have generated 70% of the energy needed to ignite a fusion reaction. A team combined 192 laser beams into a 1.9 megajoule pulse that heated a BB-sized capsule of deuterium and tritium (isotopes of hydrogen) to 100 million degrees Celsius on 8 August 2021, a press release claims. The laser blast was a test of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the…
