4/11 Sandia said a few days ago that they think they can get high-yield
nuclear fusion in a bit over a decade. Does anyone believe them or
have more information? If it's true, it would be a Good Thing.

\-i was talking about commercial fusion power with a friend
of the family who works on fusion at LLL maybe 1.5 yrs ago, and he
said the press that implied it was "right around the corner, early
21st cent" were way off. "not in this decade". --psb
\_ Check out latest issue of Discover. There's a proposal of using
proton-boron reaction instead of conventional deuterium. -- cm1ee
\_ Saw the origional of that in Science a few months ago. Mostly
an "on paper" proposal. Nothing much more than that. |
