WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory issued the following news release:
Before scientists can effectively capture and deploy fusion energy, they must learn to predict major disruptions that can halt fusion reactions and damage the walls of doughnut-shaped fusion devices called tokamaks. Timely prediction of disruptions, the sudden loss of control of the hot, charged plasma that fuels the reactions, will be vital to triggering ste . . .
