ARPA-E commits $135 million for fusion commercialization
Yesterday, the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) announced its largest concentrated investment in fusion technology so far, committing $135 million over the next 18 months to fund projects that develop and commercialize fusion technologies.
The agency said it has invested approximately $134 million in commercial fusion since it began funding fusion projects with the launch of its ALPHA program in 2014, so the next year and a half will see a doubling of the agency’s investment in the fusion space.

Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
The Wilkins equation for 1/v capture and with a constant leakage term is studied. The solution regular at the origin and its asymptotic behavior are discussed. Series expansions for the joining factors are given and the corresponding eigenvalue problem is studied. Finally, tabulations of the functions are presented for values of the parameters that are of practical interest.
