Although wartime expediency demanded the more straightforward fission path to a weapon, such hydrogen bombs would soon become ...

First Light Fusion has validated tritium breeding in its FLARE reactor, a step toward solving the tritium supply challenge for scalable fusion energy.

The operation, scheduled to run until March 24, will result in the release of about 7,800 tons of treated water containing tritium.

The tritium concentration of the 18th batch of Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS)-treated water, which Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) began discharging today from the Fukushima Daiichi ...

As part of its continuous safety oversight, the IAEA conducted independent sampling and analysis of the treated water before it was discharged.

FLARE is designed primarily to generate commercial electricity, and early analysis indicates favourable economics based on power generation alone. Surplus tritium could help ease one of the industry’s ...

A British company has validated the high tritium breeding performance of the FLARE concept, ...

The U.S. agency in charge of nuclear weapons achieved a record production of tritium, a radioactive gas that increases the explosive power of nuclear warheads, after the Tennessee Valley Authority got ...

Clean energy from nuclear fusion may soon be commercial. But leaders around the world have done little to prepare.

The U.S. government has launched the process to develop a regulatory framework to develop fusion machines as emerging nuclear ...
