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.
- Z-pinch › › Z-pinch
- A current driven straight through a plasma column, whose own magnetic field squeezes it inward. Long dismissed as unstable; sheared-flow stabilisation revived it.
- Deuterium–tritium
- Lowest ignition threshold; 80% of energy in 14.1 MeV neutrons. The reference fuel for every near-term net-gain claim.
