General Fusion's reactor prototype creates plasma for the first time
Canadian startup General Fusion has created plasma inside its prototype reactor, a major milestone in proving its technology. The company uses technology that dates back to the 1970s - details are available in the article. The prototype is now forming plasmas daily - the next step is to compress the plasmas with a lithium liner to create fusion and heating from compression. The company hopes it will achieve scientific break-even equivalent by 2026.
