Description

A discussion exploring the pathway to commercialisation, the remaining physics and engineering challenges, and expectations for emerging magnetic mirror approaches for power generation and volumetric neutron sources.

  • What is the current status of mirror machines among fusion approaches?
  • How have recent innovations accelerated mirror-based fusion approaches
  • What is the technical and commercial potential for magnetic mirrors as volumetric neutron sources?
  • What barriers remain to achieving break-even in private-sector mirror fusion?

Moderated by: Valerie Jamieson, Development Manager, The Fusion Cluster
