International Business Times – Simulation Shows Potential for Nuclear Fusion

By Ranina Sanglap | 28 March 2012 – 5:03 PM EST

High-gain nuclear fusion could soon be a possibility according to new computer simulations.

A series of computer simulations performed at Sandia National Laboratories revealed that a fusion reactor can release an output of energy that is greater than the energy fed into the reactor. The method being tested at Sandia appears to be 50 times more efficient to drive implosions of targeted materials to create the fusion reaction.
