Fusion products are contained by magnetic fields. OK then, the reason I am not rushing out to buy LMCO stock is that this said nothing about one of the major show-stoppers in the tokamak: neutron containment. The fusion process creates high energy neutrons (a tritium-deuterium fusion event yields an alpha particle and a neutron, plus a lot of energy.) <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We can have all the magnetic fields we want, but neutrons will not even know they are there, and will not care: they are neutral.

But I haven’t heard a single word about how this scheme can solve what appears to be the show-stopper with compact fusion: the hot neutron containment problem. Until I hear what they have in mind, I am not buying any additional LMCO stock.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
