What these terms mean
Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.
- Fusion developer
- Develops a fusion device or power plant concept. Carries no implication that the device exists or works.
- Fusion
- Organizations pursuing energy from nuclear fusion, and their dedicated supply chain.
- Laser ICF, indirect drive › › Laser ICF, indirect drive
- Laser energy converted to X-rays in a hohlraum, which drives the capsule. The NIF configuration.
- Deuterium–tritium
- Lowest ignition threshold; 80% of energy in 14.1 MeV neutrons. The reference fuel for every near-term net-gain claim.
In Longview Fusion Energy Systems’s own words
Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.
Most fusion companies are still working to prove their fusion science works. We are working to build a fusion power plant.
We make a distinction that industry often blurs. The underlying physics of our approach has been demonstrated at the National Ignition Facility, not being hypothesized. The plan for Longview is not scientific discovery, but transforming a proven physical result into a reliable, repeatable, and economically viable source of electricity.
