Laser fusion power seen as near term option
An Ann Arbor firm announced that its scientists using powerful laser beams have produced 60 neutron thermonuclear reactions by heating deuterium pellets, marking a definite step toward electricity from hydrogen fusion. The claim, backed by an Atomic Energy Commission spokesman, suggests potential commercial application by the early 1980s as oceanic hydrogen supplies offer abundant fuel and methods evolve from magnetic to laser confinement.
