Fuse Energy Technologies Corp., a California-based fusion energy company announced it has reached a milestone within the industry. A report they published states the company set a record for the highest fusion neutron yield.
Fuse stated how important of a milestone this is for commercial fusion energy due to neutrons being the direct product of fusion reactions.

A study co-authored by MIT professors Dennis Whyte and Andrew W. Lo proposes a framework for making fusion energy commercially viable and the steps needed to attain this.
The framework considers the physical inputs needed alongside the costs of building power plants that are efficient enough to compete in energy markets.
Whyte states that the goal is to generate abundant energy while also offering society attractive safety, licensing, and siting options.

Pacific Fusion recently announced that a pulsed-power prototype created and assembled at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has surpassed 3,000 shots under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement. This marks a key milestone in developing high-gain fusion and a key example of government-industry partnership.
Sirius, the prototype, is an IMG (impedance-matched Marx generator), designed to deliver short, powerful electrical pulses.

Ben Russell, Principal Scientist at the National Physical Laboratory, emphasises why metrology is crucial within the nuclear sector.
Reliable measurements provide objective data that enables better decision-making throughout the lifecycle of a nuclear asset, without these trusted measurements, there can be an increase in uncertainty, rise in costs and other negative side effects.
