Nuclear Fusion 39 - Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Pioneering Use Of Artificial Intelligence To Control Tokamaks
One of the biggest problems with the development of nuclear fusion reactors based on the tokamak design has to do with the appearance of major disruptions in the control of the plasma in the donut shaped chamber. When these disruptions occur, the fusion reaction can stop and the walls of the containment vessel can be damaged.

Nuclear Fusion 38 - Breakthroughs May Make Hydrogen-Boron Fusion The Basis Of Commercial Fusion Power
I write mainly about nuclear fission reactors in this blog because they exist and generate about eleven percent of the electricity in the world. Commercial nuclear fusion power reactors do not exist yet.

Nuclear Reactors 535 - Institution of Mechanical Engineers Issue Report On Future Of Nuclear Industry In The UK
The decision of the U.K. to exit the European Union, referred to as the Brexit, has far reaching ramifications. Among other things, it is causing great turbulence in their nuclear industry. As part of the European Union, they were tied to the continental nuclear industry with treaties that covered research funding, nuclear fuel sources, nuclear waste issues, etc.
