"This translates into a significant neutron flux which is a source of unwanted background ... the gamma-ray-to-neutron ...

The Earth possesses virtually inexhaustible reserves of the raw materials—deuterium and tritium—essential for a fusion ...

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has taken a stride in fusion energy development with the announcement of a £200m ($244m) investment in the Lithium Breeding Tritium Innovation (LIBRTI ...

of energy in the form of kinetic energy of the products (3.5 MeV to alpha particle and 14.1 MeV to neutron). Three main conditions are necessary for a controlled thermonuclear fusion: The temperature ...

Photons cause some of the deuterium to fuse. Unlike earlier attempts, this method produces detectable neutron emissions ... because you do need a source of electrons to kick off the reaction.

The instrumentation consists of a neutron source, a monochromator to select the desired wavelength ... particularly hydrogen and deuterium. X-rays have a shorter penetration depth compared to neutrons ...

To fuse Hydrogen in his device, [Carl] first evacuates a vacuum chamber. Deuterium (Hydrogen with an added neutron) is injected into the chamber, and a spherical cathode made of Tungsten is ...

In heavy water, each hydrogen atom is indeed heavier, with a neutron as well as a proton in its nucleus. This isotope of hydrogen is called deuterium, and heavy water's more scientific name is ...

Their world-leading work is critically important to making fusion a viable source of electricity on a commercial scale. In a commercial fusion system, the fuel will likely be made of deuterium and ...
