U.K. vision for fusion
The U.K. government has announced a series of initiatives to progress fusion to commercialization, laid out in a fusion strategy policy paper published March 16. A New Energy Revolution: The UK’s Plan for Delivering Fusion Energy begins to describe how the government’s £2.5 billion (about $3.4 billion) investment in fusion research and development over five years will be allocated.

A study of the extrusion and fabrication characteristics of various titanium-enriched boron dispersions indicate that hot extrusion of uncompacted powders is a feasible method for producing these materials. Tensile and impact properties of dispersions containing 2.43, 3.4, and 3.8 w/o B10 show a decrease with increasing B10 concentration. Irradiation studies on these materials revealed that internal cracking results after thermal neutron exposures of approximately 4.6 × 1020 nvt and higher. Tensile properties of the dispersions were related directly to the exposure and resulting structure, however, no correlation was found between exposure and impact properties of these materials.
