Even once researchers can reliably get more power out of a fusion reaction than they put in, they'll still need to overcome engineering challenges to scale up fusion energy.

Each fission reaction releases a huge amount of energy (about 200 MeV) but requires a chain reaction for the reactor to remain self-sustaining.

The deal is the latest in a flurry of agreements that, if completed, would usher in a nuclear power renaissance in the U.S.

However, further analysis found that the uranium had gone through a sustained natural fission reaction over 2 billion years in the past.
