Scientists have been striving to achieve fusion ignition for decades.
Scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced a major breakthrough for nuclear fusion on Tuesday, December 13.during a nuclear fusion experiment. This means they produced more energy than they put into their fusion experiment, paving the way for practically limitless clean energy production from nuclear fusion.Here's why that achievement was described as a "history-making" moment by US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm during the announcement event.
Essentially, the process achieved during the experiment must be refined and then produced at a much larger scale.The LLNL scientists achieved fusion ignition at LLNL's National Ignition Facility during a controlled fusion experiment last Monday, December 5, according to In its statement, the DOE explained that LLNL’s experiment "surpassed the fusion threshold by delivering 2.05 megajoules of energy to the target, resulting in 3.15 MJ of fusion energy output, demonstrating for the first time a most fundamental science basis for inertial fusion energy ."
