The achievment of the enegy breakeven in NIF on Dec 5th, 2022 has strongly revived the interest for this technological approach towards fusion energy. Public and private companies have entered the international stages with promising designs.
From all these initiatives we remark the laser-driven wet-wall reactor proposal from Xcimer Energy Corporation. Its novel high-energy laser design will provide a powerful drive to achieve high yield implosions of large targets, with the following benefits:
- Low repetition rate with better chamber clearing.
- Reduced instabilities during the implosion.
Xcimer Energy Corporation has been granted support from DOE and already raised over $100M from private investors. Click here to expand these news.
