Steam-powered piston system sparks nuclear fusion plasma in Canada
Canadian nuclear fusion company uses Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) approach to achieve its first plasma, 23 years after it was founded.
In 2022, the US National Ignition Facility (NIF) made global headlines after achieving the first energy gain from a nuclear fusion reaction. The key to this achievement was using lasers to compress fusion fuel, deuterium, and tritium inside the plasma to replicate reaction conditions like those in the sun. General Fusion’s trust in MTF stems from the fact that the technology is designed to be practical and produce power while not requiring expensive components like superconducting magnets or high-end lasers.
