Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.

Values of fusion energy multiplication >1 have been shown to be possible during energetic deuterium injection into high-electron-temperature (Te > 3 keV), quasi-neutral tritium plasmas. The high-temperature requirement is eliminated when a nonneutral plasma is the beam's target. Fusion energy multiplication factors >1 can be obtained in a low-temperature (<100 eV), nonneutral tritium plasma.
