Pacific Fusion predicts “1,000-fold leap” in performance, net facility gain by 2030
Inertial fusion energy (IFE) developer Pacific Fusion, based in Fremont, Calif., announced this morning that it is on target to achieve net facility gain—more fusion energy out than all energy stored in the system—with a demonstration system by 2030, and backs the claim with a technical paper published yesterday on arXiv: “Affordable, manageable, practical, and scalable (AMPS) high-yield and high-gain inertial fusion.”

Talking about Nuclear Energy with the Next Administration: Regardless of which candidate wins election to the U.S. presidency in November, the incoming administration will be different than the current one – either in degrees or perhaps more dramatically. There will be different cabinet members, different senior political appointees, and some different members of Congress. Either way, proponents of nuclear energy will have a challenge in educating policy makers about the importance of nuclear energy and of maintaining or even adding to the funding for nuclear energy research and development. In this panel, we’ll discuss the issues, the challenges, and strategies for ANS success.
