MIT Technology Review, October 1983 By Lawrence M. Lidsky The technically advanced nations of the world will spend over $1 billion this year in the quest … Read moreThe Trouble With Fusion
World Nuclear Association (Updated October 2014) Fusion power offers the prospect of an almost inexhaustible source of energy for future generations, but it also presents so far insurmountable scientific and engineering challenges. The main hope is centred on tokamak reactors which confine a deuterium-tritium plasma magnetically. Today, many countries take part in fusion research to … Read moreNuclear Fusion Power
Notes and Comment On October 12, 1980, President Carter signed into law the “Magnetic Fusion Energy Engineering Act of 1980.” The act was based on House and Senate Bills sponsored by Rep. M. McCormack (DWash.) and Sen. P. Tsongas (D-Mass.), which had passed both houses of Congress with very strong bipartisan support and presumably represents … Read moreMagnetic Fusion Energy Engineering Act of 1980 (MFEEA)
