Re: General Fusion in the news
It is very good news that General Fusion has raised more funding and is able to move forward with their demonstration plant. It still remains to be seen which concept(s) will work in the end and which concept(s) will not. The KSTAR tokamak in Korea run at 100 MK for 20 s, so there is still a lot of ...

Re: JET will attempt Q-record by the end of the decade
The schedule for the deuterium-tritium runs on JET has slipped many times as reflected by the title of this rather old thread. This has happened for various reasons. But the preparations are coming to an end and the tritium experiments are currently scheduled for 2021. Hopefully there will be no fur...

Re: More Helion Energy news....
Nice to see you back on TP after the break Skipjack! Thanks bud! It is good to be back. After all these years, everyone here is a bit like extended family to me. Hope to see more people return now that the forum is back up! It is interesting what you report about Helion Energy as they have really b...

Re: More Helion Energy news....
Helion has been slowly inching towards break even. Unfortunately they are extremely tight lipped about their progress. They have been even more so since the Alpha program ended. The information that I think I can disclose is putting them somewhere in the 10^20 keV * s/m3 range. Note that those are ...
