Will neutrons compromise the operation of superconducting magnets in a fusion plant?
Boston MA (SPX) Feb 28, 2025 High-temperature superconducting magnets made from REBCO, an acronym for rare earth barium copper oxide, make it possible to create an intense magnetic field that can confine the extremely hot plasma needed for fusion reactions, which combine two hydrogen atoms to form an atom of helium, releasing a neutron in the process. But some early tests suggested that neutron irradiation inside a fusion power plant might instantaneously suppress the superconducting magnets' ability to carry current without ... read more
