Among various advanced fuel cycles, proton-boron-11 (p-11B) fusion has attracted renewed interest as a potentially clean and sustainable fusion energy source.
This aneutronic fusion concept has long been envisioned as an ultimate cleaner fusion reactor scheme…

TAE’s goal: p-11B aneutronic fusion Reactivity of p-11B has been reassessed
– Cross section larger than previously believed.
– Kinetic effects can further increase reactivity
– Net effect leads to ~30% increase of the fusion yield for the same…

The bias system in C-2W has a voltage limitation that is in-part due to arcing between electrodes. The Bias Test Stand (BTS) is a testbed built by TAE to study different electrode configurations and design features to reduce arcing.
