Great to see local interest in fusion as San Diego’s KPBS toured the DIII-D National Fusion Facility. The video segment below serves as an introduction to the concept of fusion energy. Now we need to bring them back to watch an experiment!
Machine learning techniques were used to train a model that optimizes the safe rampdown of fusion energy reactors. New research from the DIII-D National Fusion Facility.
Following experiments at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, an improved model achieves better accuracy in describing particle behaviors in fusion environment.
The US Department of Energy is taking community input on how the public research program can accelerate the arrival of commercial fusion energy. I was very happy to contribute to an input (PDF) about how the DIII-D National Fusion Facility has made it much easier for industry partners to conduct research at the facility.
New research shows how to improve predictive modelling of power exhaust in fusion reactors. Experiments performed at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility and led by the Fusion team at ORNL.
