Princeton achieves 10x reduction in tritium needs for nuclear fusion
US scientists made a breakthrough in fusion energy, discovering a new fuel mix that could improve efficiency and reduce tritium reliance.
It is in this regard that scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have made a significant breakthrough. Tritium is a key component of the fuel mix used in fusion reactors, but it is expensive to produce and poses safety concerns. “With less tritium required, the overall size of the fusion power plant can be reduced, making it easier to license, situate and construct.
