A 1-gigawatt fusion plant would burn 123 pounds of tritium a year and push 1,235 pounds around its loop to do it, so an American startup is spinning the exhaust in a column of plasma that throws the heavy isotopes to the wall and lets the helium ash go, and the machine has never seen real tritium
1+ day, 18+ hour ago (587+ words) Sep 12, at 3:30pm ET None of it makes fuel. Nobody has put tritium through the machine yet. Breeding it means lining the reactor with lithium and letting fusion neutrons split lithium-6 into tritium and helium. Natural lithium is only 7.5% lithium-6, so…...
