Update on the Bussard IEC Fusion Reactor

The next Bussard IEC fusion reactor could be 100MW size producing
net energy

July 07, 2008

Dr Nebel is talking about is a 1.5 meter 100 MW net power fusion reactor Dr Nebel has said he is getting good data from the WB7 test device. He is under a publishing embargo and cannot discuss the data, (neutron counts) but he has said the next device might as well be a 100MW version.

This 100MW version may only cost $3 million to make. The implication is that Dr Nebel and his team are getting very good results. Hopefully this speculation is confirmed in August or September of this year with results published and next stages funded.
