Nuclear NewsNEW Inertia Enterprises finds a way to make its fusion fuel fastInertia Enterprises has reduced the production time for fusion fuel pellets from one week to approximately three hours. The startup developed this manufacturing process through a public-private partnership with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This advancement addresses a primary barrier to scaling fusion technology from laboratory experiments to commercial power generation. Commercial fusion plants require a high volume of fuel pellets to operate continuously, with Inertia projecting a need for ten pellets per second. By accelerating production and reducing the required tritium inventory, the company aims to lower operational costs and safety risks associated with handling radioactive isotopes. These manufacturing efficiencies are intended to support the development of a viable...Core Content 1 hour ago 1
