Fusion power close to commercial scale

Should be ready in nine years thanks to Norman

TAE Technologies, a 20-year-old fusion energy technology developer, is claiming to have hit a milestone in developing new technology for generating power from nuclear fusion.

The company said its reactors could be operating at a commercial scale by the end of the decade, thanks to its newfound ability to produce stable plasma at temperatures over 50 million degrees (nearly twice as hot as the sun).

While this is good news for TAE Technologies, it comes too late for Norman Rostoker. Rostoker was one of the company's co-founders who devoted his life to fusion energy research but died before he could see the company he helped create reach its latest milestone.
