Energy officials announce nuclear fusion breakthrough, herald a “milestone for the future of clean energy”
US Department of Energy officials
The breakthrough was made by a team of scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility in California on December 5 — a facility the size of a sports stadium and equipped with 192 lasers.“Ignition allows us to replicate, for the first time, certain conditions that are only found in the stars and sun,” Granholm said. “This milestone moves us one significant step closer to the possibility of zero-carbon, abundant fusion energy powering our society.
Arati Prabhakar, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, spoke about how, as a young scientist early on in her career, she spent three months at Lawrence Livermore working on its nuclear fusion project.
