RICHLAND -- Lab results received so far show that Hanford workers exposed to tritium last month had very low levels of the radioactive isotope. Workers were removing an exit sign at the 326 Building, ...

Instead of using solid pellets, the scientists injected deuterium and tritium into foam capsules. The clever bit is that when the laser array shoots at a capsule, the beams cause the capsule to ...

At the National Ignition Facility (NIF), researchers direct the energy from 192 lasers to initiate nuclear reactions at higher energy and density than possible elsewhere. Study of these reactions will ...

Scientists completed several successful attempts to fire 28 kilojoules of laser energy at small capsules filled with deuterium and tritium fuel, causing the capsules to implode and produce a plasma ...

This undated image provided by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory shows a deuterium and tritium capsule, sphere in window at center, inside a cylindrical hohlraum container about 0.4 inches ...

On the morning of December 13, while people were preparing for the end of year festivities, directors of the US Department of Energy in Washington, DC, held a press conference to announce what they ...

RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — An eight-person crew at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation was exposed to low levels of radioactivity last month while removing an exit sign ...

Chantilly-based NearStar Fusion commissioned their new plasma gun side injector experiment on March 15. The event included an explanation of NearStar’s proprietary fusion process, called hypervelocity ...

A a view from inside the OMEGA target chamber during a direct-drive inertial fusion experiment at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics. Scientists fired 28 kilojoules of laser ...
