I found the website K1 Project very helpful. They had several articles underneath their Learn/Energy tab which should answer any questions about nuclear fusion.

Do you think nuclear fusion is feasable and would you say MCF or ICF?

Yes, nuclear fusion is feasible as a potential source of clean energy. Both magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF) are promising approaches being researched to achieve practical fusion energy production, each with its own advantages and challenges. Continued advancements in these technologies have the potential to make fusion energy a reality in the future.


What role may lasers play in controlled nuclear fusion?

It is unclear whether this will work, but there are possibilities. One way to do this is to create so-called light wells, where interference in the light waves can trap atoms. The atoms are then moved by adjusting the light waves, possibly causing them to fuse. The technical problems with doing this are very great, and there is a significant probability it will not happen. There may be other ways of using lasers for controlled nuclear fusion.


What is the explanation for the process of nuclear fusion?

Fusion reactions occur under immense pressures, such as those found in the centre of the sun. To artificially produce fusion reactions here on earth, we either use MCF (magnetic confinement fusion) or ICF (inertial confinement fusion) to create the pressure and temperature necessary for small elements to fuse together, releasing energy.


What are ICF walls?

ICF stands for Insulated Concrete Forms. ICF walls are exterior walls made by stacking interlocking forms and filled with concrete. These forms typically consist of foam insulation on both sides, providing energy efficiency and structural strength to the building.


What technological problems are associated with nuclear power and nuclear fusion?

There is an existing fusion technology that produces controlled amounts of fusion energy - more energy out of the fusion power generating system than it takes to run the fusion power generating system. It might be worthwhile to remember that Ivy-Mike technology worked the very first time it was tried in the 1952 nuclear test. Mike technology was the basis of the first thermonuclear weapons in the US arsenal. Adapting Mike technology to be pure DT-DD fusion opens up many new applications in safe, economical, fusion power generation. While historically practical nuclear fusion has used a small amount of fissionable material like U235 to produce the conditions for fusion - Today, there are smaller pure fusion devices optimized to make clean energy (not blast effects) from hybrid pure DT-DD fusion while producing no radioactive fission products and high level nuclear waste. Modern DT-DD pure fusion devices produce the overwhelming majority of their energy from the DD fusion reaction of Deuterium separated from sea water. One such modern hybrid DT-DD fusion design is called mini-Mike, which produces a small predictable controlled energy yield of 250 GJ per shot. (Since pictures and outside web links are not allowed on Answers) Description of a practical hybrid 2-stage fusion device - mini-Mike is a two stage device that features a small hollow 2 mm diameter Deuterium-Tritium fusion capsule which in turn ignites a column of pressurized Deuterium cryo-liquid resulting in devices with safe and reliable energy yields optimized for power generation. In 60 years, no other fusion technology (Magnetic Confinement or Inertial Confinement) has ever produced any net energy (more energy out of the fusion reaction than it takes to get the fusion plasma to fusion conditions). In 60 years, all existing MCF and ICF fusion systems have never worked (in the sense that they have not produced more energy from fusion than it took to get the fusion plasma to fusion conditions).. Mike technology worked the first time it was tried and produced huge amounts of net energy (and has never failed). Rather than placing our faith in scaling laws while we build ever larger and more expensive fusion experiments while trying to achieve break even energy generation - why not go back to the field and adapt technology that has never failed to finally find success in fusion?
