D A ILY INNOVATION BRIEF By Journalists Edward Kane & Marya nne Kane NUCLEAR FUSION REACTION CREATES 2Xs THE ENERGY PUT INTO THE PROCESS Source: Stock New nuclear fusion records are being set at the US National Ignition Facility, bringing the world closer to an era of plentiful green, clean energy. Here are some facts: US scientists have been producing as output two-times the amount of energy inputted into nuclear fusion reactions They started setting records in 2022 and have been increasing those energy production milestones ever since Fusion energy works like the sun, squeezing smaller particles together into larger atoms Nuclear fusion creates more energy than the nuclear fission process in current nuclear reactors and, importantly, does not leave behind radioactive waste These fusion milestones are just being published by the US scientific team They are significant advances and give hope to
