It is interesting indeed. I was a bit surprised byt the time line they gave for possibly "commercial" applications. Somewhat far into the future, but I guess in the large scale of things, it probably makes sense.

Fared muh better with the Windows version (well, as far as i...

How about Open-FTA ? It's available for windows and Linux. Brochure is attached.

The Canadian Nuclear Liability Act (Dec 31, 2012) is attached.

That's why I am posting the link where you can get it. If the admin increases the allowable attachment size, it would be great! JOURNAL OF C...

If I had to guess, I'd say that most most posters, even those in the nuclear field, are not familiar with these concepts and are comfortable dealing with the old-and-tried light water reactor technology, which is easier to understand and deal with. They probably don't even have the education of kno...

Any links to the other types of fusion work you mention in your post? Here are some links and a couple of documents, Elecman.

The fusion research activity might have been toned down, but it definitely hasn't stopped. At the time, as I remember it, there were a couple of competing technologies with plasma magnetic confinement (Tokamak reactors) attracting a lot of attention. But, after spending decades and billions of dolla...
