3D-printed capsules could be a solution
To address this challenge, LLNL has launched a research project to develop 3D-printed fuel capsules.
“Now that we have achieved and repeated fusion ignition, the Lab is rapidly applying our decades of know-how into solving the core physics and engineering challenges that come with the monumental task of building the fusion ecosystem necessary for a laser fusion power plant,” said Tammy Ma, lead for LLNL’s inertial fusion energy institutional initiative.
