Two self-contained magnetized plasma rings composed of deuterium-tritium fuel called spheromaks are then injected into each end of the cavity and merge in the center to form a single magnetized target.
Experiments with deuterium-tritium plasmas would begin in mid 2026, according to the plan, with high gain (Q=10), long pulse (15 min) operation in 2028.
Each successful deuterium-tritium fusion would produce an alpha particle (an atom of helium-4), an energetic neutron and a good deal of energy.
However, in the jargon of the DOE, these substances are called "advanced' fuels, because the confinement and temperature conditions necessary for them go beyond those for deuterium-tritium.
In the future NIF ignition experiments, the deuterium-tritium fuel capsule will be placed inside a larger hohlraum.
Deuterium-tritium fusion, which most controlled fusion experiments today are trying to achieve, produces energetic neutrons, from which energy can easily be harvested and converted to useful things like steam or electric power.
For his vision, leadership and technical accomplishments in planning and carrying out the first deuterium-tritium experiment in a magnetically confined plasma, which broke new ground in fusion physics and produced multimegawatt fusion power in a controlled way.
As a result of his pioneering work on alpha particle theory, he served on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor Deuterium-Tritium Program Advisory Committee and was a co-organizer of an international alpha particle workshop.
