The US SHUT DOWN All Other Nuclear Fusion Reactors With THIS New Invention!
At the National Ignition Facility within Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, there's an exciting project going on in the world of inertial confinement fusion. This method is different from the more common magnetic confinement methods you might have heard about, like those used in tokamaks and stellarators. Instead of using magnetic fields to hold plasma, the National Ignition Facility uses powerful lasers to compress a tiny fuel pellet until it reaches the right conditions for fusion reactions.
Over the last few years, the National Ignition Facility has made big strides in fusion technology. A major breakthrough happened on December 5, 2022, when they confirmed that the energy produced from a fusion reaction at the facility was more than the energy put into the system. This is known as achieving ignition and is a crucial step toward a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy source. This success means fusion could become a practical source of nearly limitless clean energy.
