Nuclear Fusion 144 - Runaway Electrons Destabilize Fusion Reactors
One of the major challenges for researchers working on the development of fusion power is preventing what are called runaway electron which are particles that are generated during fusion. They can disrupt fusion experiments by boring holes in the walls of tokamaks. Scientists led by researchers at the U.S.

Part 1 of 2 Parts
I have been interested in nuclear fusion as a power source for decades. The progress has been painfully slow as researchers overcame challenge after challenge only to find more challenges. It does appear that we are moving more quickly now as many laboratories and private companies pursue different paths to commercial nuclear fusion.
