and assumed that China would accomplish ambitious near-term goals for expanding nuclear power and renewables,
Lockheed martin s announcement last week that it had developed secretly a promising design for a compact nuclear fusion reactor has met with excitement but also skepticism over the basic feasibility of its approach.
Nuclear fusion could produce far more energy far more cleanly than the fission reactions at the heart of today s nuclear power plants.
Tom Mcguire project lead of the Lockheed effort said in an interview that the company has come up with a compact design called a high beta fusion reactor based on principles of so-called magnetic mirror confinement.
Lockheed said the test reactor is only two meters long by one meter wide far smaller than existing research reactors.
In a smaller reactor you can iterate generations quicker incorporate new knowledge develop faster and make riskier design choices.
If successful the program could produce a reactor that might fit in a tractor-trailer and produce 100 megawatts of power he said.
The small team developing the reactor at the company s skunkworks in Palmdale California has done 200 firings with plasma Mcguire said
The company is even talking about how fusion reactors could one day power ships and planes.
Ian Hutchinson a professor of nuclear science and engineering at MIT and one of the principal investigators at the MIT fusion research reactor says the type of confinement described by Lockheed had long been studied without much success. Hutchinson says he was only
Lockheed joins a number of other companies working on smaller and cheaper types of fusion reactors. These include Tri-Alpha a company based near Irvine California that is testing a linear-shaped reactor;
Helion Energy of Redmond Washington which is developing a system that attempts to use a combination of compression and magnetic confinement of plasma;
and Lawrenceville Plasma physics in Middlesex New jersey which is working on a reactor design that uses what s known as a dense plasma focus.
Daniel Feuermann and Jeffrey Gordon) that reconstitutes the immense brightness within the plasma of high-power xenon discharge lamps at a remote reactor,
At this point, the reactor exposes the air to electrical discharges separating nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) from the atmospheric air and transforming it into nitrous oxide (N2o),
and nuclear power industries. Although the Republican-controlled Senate and House will not approve this budget or enact permanent extensions of the tax credits the proposal signals that the administration will support some preservation of the solar Investment Tax credit (ITC) and the wind power Production Tax credit (PTC).

Former Opponent Touts Nuclear power at Chicago Event Not too long ago, Carol Browner would have sided with the activists clad in white hazmat suits protesting nuclear power outside the City Club's lunch Tuesday in downtown Chicago.
a speaker touting the benefits of nuclear power. With 6 percent of nuclear power in the U s. under financial threat, nuclear proponents are attempting to win over environmental activists.
Who better to send the message that nuclear power is a"clean"form of power and worth saving than Browner
who changed her mind and began advocating for nuclear power in 2011. Washington post: White house Opens Up Southern Atlantic coast to Offshore Drilling The Obama administration on Tuesday outlined a politically fraught plan for allowing oil drilling in U s. coastal waters,
announcing steps to open parts of the southeastern U s. coastline for oil leasing while imposing new restrictions on environmentally fragile waters off Alaska North Slope.
and Pakistan has started reportedly operating a third plutonium reactor, Squassoni said. She said the United states has good rhetoric on nuclear nonproliferation,

In the beginning, the idea was to develop a radioactivity sensor for inside a nuclear power station says Tijmen Euser from the Max Planck Institute in Erlangen.
By wrapping the fibre around the reactor, fibre-optic sensors could probe the entire surface of a reactor.
It turns out, however, that radioactive radiation darkens the interior of conventional glass fibres so that light can no longer propagate therein,
As conventional methanation processes reach their limits at this point we have developed a new reactor concept Bajohr says.
Having a metallic conductor stable at temperatures above 600c that is also optically transparent and flexible can truly enable novel technologies for space applications and harsh environments such as nuclear power centrals.
"First, lactic acid is fed into a reactor and converted into a type of pre-plastic under high temperature and in a vacuum,
"We speed up and guide the chemical process in the reactor with a zeolite as a catalyst.

The discovery means the materials could be useful in spacecraft, the nuclear industry and in medicine.
