Taking shape: Fusion energy ecosystems built with public-private partnerships
It’s possible to describe fusion in simple terms: heat and squeeze small atoms to get abundant clean energy. But there’s nothing simple about getting fusion ready for the grid.
Private developers, national lab and university researchers, suppliers, and end users working toward that goal are developing a range of complex technologies to reach fusion temperatures and pressures, confounded by science and technology gaps linked to plasma behavior; materials, diagnostics, and electronics for extreme environments; fuel cycle sustainability; and economics.

The s-wave strength function from 676 resonances between 0.9 and 10.0 keV is reported from a consistent least-squares simultaneous-sample shape analysis of the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator 150-m four-sample 238U transmission data. The neutron widths from 0.9 to 6.0 keV from this improved analysis are meant to supersede previously published values. These resonances give an s-wave strength function of about 0.94 × 10−4 from 0 to 10 keV.
