US firm overcomes 2 key barriers to reach scalable nuclear fusion energy

The scientists have ensured that the nuclear fusion reaction overcomes the two barriers to operating in a “sweet spot” for optimal power production.Scientists have overcome two key barriers to producing power from nuclear fusion, which could pave the way for producing near-limitless clean energy.

The scientists at US energy and defense firm General Atomics have claimed to break the Greenwald limit in a small tokamak reactor.The research, led by Siye Ding at General Atomics, used magnets and deuterium gas to contain superhot plasma at 20 percent above this limit without it escaping for 2.2 seconds.

Furthermore, the experimental results show an integration of very low edge transient perturbations with the high normalized density and confinement core.
