No, because fusion energy production is not based on a chain reaction, as is fission. Plasma must be kept at very high temperatures with the support of external heating systems and confined by an ...

A nuclear reactor works in the same way that a concentrated solar plant with mirrors ... creating what’s known as a chain reaction. Nuclear fusion occurs when two atoms join together to form ...

but requires a chain reaction for the reactor to remain self-sustaining. By comparison, a fusion reactor generates an abundance of neutrons without the need for a chain reaction, but releases less ...

A third part is fusion is not a chain reaction, so the danger of runaway nuclear reactions and explosions is non-existent. Since generating electricity is responsible for about a third of global ...

Boron-11, the core fuel of TAE Technnologies fusion reaction, is cheap and abundant. The readily available supply chain in the UK drives costs down for companies developing fusion in the country ...
