“In the world’s largest stellarator facility, high-energy helium-3 ions were generated for the first time using ion cyclotron resonance heating – a milestone for fusion research,” said the ...

Helion’s plan with Polaris is to try demonstrate net electricity from fusion. They plan to demonstrate helium-3 production through deuterium-deuterium fusion. The plan with Polaris is to pulse at a ...

Helium-3 is considered a potential fuel for future fusion reactors. However, its extraction and transportation to Earth present major technical and economic challenges. The associated costs could ...

A new class of advanced steels needs more fine-tuning before use in system components for fusion energy—a more sustainable ...

2. Helion Energy is developing Helium 3 fusion. They plan to breed Helium 3 in their reactors. 3. HB11 Energy is developing laser proton boron fusion. 4. Marvel Energy is developing proton boron ...

Every 10 years or so the reactor would have to be taken offline for decontamination. Deuterium/helium-3 fusion creates far fewer radioactive neutrons.

Oh, and one more thing, the nation that "perfects" the Helium-3 fusion plant and can build reactors around the world and supply the fuel will be the new OPEC powerhouse in the world!

However, helium-3 isn’t as rare elsewhere in the solar system. The sun, essentially a gigantic nuclear fusion reactor, emits plumes of highly energized solar wind containing large amounts of the ...
