Most current fusion power projects require tritium – an incredibly scarce and problematic fuel. TAE is targeting cheaper, safer hydrogen-boron (H-B) fusion, and it's just announced a world-first ...

What is the connection between boron, an element in a common household cleaner, and tokamaks, ring-shaped fusion facilities that heat fuel to million-degree temperatures? Scientists at the U.S.

"The boron is sprinkled into the tokamak plasma as a powder, like from a saltshaker, which is ionized at the plasma's edge and then deposited on the tokamak's inner walls and the exhaust region," said ...

This drawing of a cross section through ITER shows the pellet injection guide tubes and a sketch of a conceptual design for a boron dropper. Joseph Snipes, deputy head for Tokamak Experimental Science ...

Department of Energy scientists confirmed a new process that can help protect the interiors of tokamak fusion reactors. The team showed that they can successfully drop boron powder into ...
