Fusion program at MIT is ending
Posted on Saturday, May 25, 2013 @ 11:40:00 UTC by vlad

Science By Carolyn Y. Johnson/ The Boston Globe Staff/ May 20, 2013

Layoffs predicted; federal funds cut


A long-running Massachusetts Institute of Technology research experiment that explores nuclear fusion as a possible energy source will shut down within a year, as its already diminished federal funding has been cut.

Miklos Porkolab, director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center where the project is housed, said that unless Congress decides to step in, 70 employees will be laid off, including physicists, technicians, engineers, and support staff. The shutdown will leave only two fusion experiments in the United States, one at Princeton University and the other at General Atomics, a company in San Diego...


...The US Department of Energy is increasing its overall funding of fusion research, but is shifting money from its domestic program to a large, collaborative international project being built in France called ITER. MIT is continuing to push for funding for its program to be reinstated...

Nuclear Fusion Summary - Prospects for breakthrough commercial reactors 2018-2025 (Score: 1)

Here is a good article on NextBigFuture.com posted by Brian Wang on 5/24/2013:

Nuclear fusion is one of the main topics at Nextbigfuture. I have summarized the state of nuclear fusion research before. A notable summary was made three years ago in mid-2010. I believed at the time that there could be multiple successful nuclear fusion project vying for commercial markets by 2018. Progress appears to be going a bit more slowly than previously hoped, but there are several possible projects (General Fusion, John Slough small space propulsion nuclear fusion system, Lawrenceville Plasma Physics - if they work out metal contamination and other issues and scale power) that could demonstrate net energy gain in the next couple of years...

[Vlad] - I was disappointed to see nothing on Cold Fusion/LENR developments in this summary (as compared to the previous summary in 2010: see Multiple Promising Nuclear Fusion Projects [nextbigfuture.com]). I urge you to read the comments on the 2010 article, mainly the debate between GoatGuy and JedRothwell both very knowledgeable and articulate individuals, which is a classic example of why it is so difficult and frustrating for any  revolutionary discovery, especially without an accepted existng supporting theory, to breakthrough.
