  1.  @darinhitchings7104  the only way you can learn to control plasma is by making it and controlling it. That's expensive... and that's what they're doing. Simulations only tell you what you think you know how to control plasma... if the assumptions are wrong... the simulations are wrong. And useless.

  2. Until governments like the US or others take it seriously... firstly LFTR fission as something like that on a Manhattan project scale would be provide a fully functioning LFTR plant in 3 years or so. While a Manhattan project for fusion would still probably take 10 years. At the scale and pace of ITER and even that of Wendelstein 7x which is only doing plasma control research mostly... with some additions as time goes on such lithium wall tritium breeders in another decade or so after. All research for the most part only. Not pushing such research to be completed quickly (which would cost lots of money)... and moving toward an actual Demo prototype. And these private deals... are mostly research, they just can't tell their investors that they're literally burning their money up. They gotta sound like it's gonna happen "soon". Not at their scale and pace.

  3. This is what we need.. fortunately many countries are conducting LFTR fission systems right now.
