| Australia | nuclear: fusion
Nuclear fusion is ignited using chirped pulse amplification to create “extreme light.” Laser implosion via deuterium hydrogen (DT) spherical fuel pellets loses energy to heat, but a cylindrical hydrogen-boron mixture fuses via directed motion and a high-temperature axial burn wave. A prototype plant could be built in a decade at under $100 million.
