Bravo, but she should have mentioned that the beauty of fusion energy is that there is literally zero possibility of melt down because if any of the control parameters are removed from the ignition, the reaction simply stops. And that there is no radioactive waste. It's a dramatic step forward, but there are still significant hurdles before a fusion reactor which provides energy for a large population, is realized. It's an exciting development for the future of the planet!

[@Finn-xw4vn]

Hold your horses there. Having more energy than ignition isn't that big an issue for actual practical implementation. They specifically don't mention the energy required to keep it running. Also, it not only needs to be energy positive, but also more efficient than other methods of energy production (which it is not yet). While this is a great step forward, it isn't like we are only 30 years off from having active running power plants. A lot more engineering needs to be done to make it fully energy production positive, as well as commercially viable.

[@ikillstupidcomments]

We already have sustainable energy in solar, which is additionally much further along in development towards full technological maturity. Fusion is important because of energy density -- it's a direct replacement for most of the current applications of fossil fuels and fission which solar and tidal have trouble with due to lagging battery tech.

Caveats NIF’s achievement is significant in the evolving story of inertial confinement. Fusion produces more energy than it consumes. The reaction also doesn’t produce environmentally deadly waste like nuclear fission does. This is why it’s so lucrative as a power source. Financial Times reported that until June, the “total private sector investment to date” in fusion energy was “almost $4.9 bn”. But there might be some gaps between expectations and reality. First: After NIF achieved a gain of 0.72 in 2021, the people in charge of the experiment tried thrice to repeat their feat. They failed - because the NIF fusion facility is a highly sophisticated system with tiny moving parts. Even small changes in input conditions, like microscopic bumps on the capsule, can lead to large variations in output. So NIF will need to reproduce its new results. Second: For fusion to be truly gainful, the energy released by the reactions needs to be greater than the energy going into the lasers, about 300 megajoules, and not just the energy delivered to the hohlraum. This hasn’t yet been achieved. “The energy transferred to the plasma is just about 1%, the rest is all lost in other processes,” said Shishir Deshpande, a professor at the Institute for Plasma Research, Gandhinagar. According to Mr. Zepf, “Future research will need to focus on reaching the next major milestone - a target gain of G > 100, which is required to run a power plant efficiently.” That is, if the lasers deposit 2 megajoules, as they did on December 5, the reactions in a power plant will have to produce at least 200 megajoules to be feasible. And “even if one were to achieve high gain,” Mr. Deshpande continued, “questions about how often one can repeat the pulse, to get sustained power, and couple a higher fraction of the initial energy investment [to the fuel] will be crucial in future.” Third: The road to a power plant from the NIF’s current achievement isn’t well-understood. For example, at NIF, lasers fire at a hohlraum, generating X-rays that heat the capsule - instead of hitting the capsule directly. This prevents the laser pulses from being pinpoint accurate and allows the capsule to be heated in a symmetric way, which is highly desirable. But the cost is lower gain. Another issue is that some of the input energy is devoted to compressing the capsule instead of raising the temperature (unlike in magnetic confinement). This fraction will increase as the amount of fuel increases, creating another barrier to high gain. “It wouldn’t be possible to set a timeline [about a power plant] as the scientific understanding is still evolving,” Mr. Deshpande said. But LLNL director Kim Budil said at the announcement that inertial confinement could be commercialised in a few decades. Even by then, global warming will have crossed the 1.5º C mark.
