This historic, first-of-its kind achievement will provide unprecedented capability to support NNSA\u2019s Stockpile Stewardship Program and will provide invaluable insights into the prospects of clean fusion energy, which would be a game-changer for efforts to achieve President Biden\u2019s goal of a net-zero carbon economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a landmark achievement for the researchers and staff at the National Ignition Facility who have dedicated their careers to seeing fusion ignition become a reality, and this milestone will undoubtedly spark even more discovery,\u201d said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. \u201cThe Biden-Harris Administration is committed to supporting our world-class scientists &#8211; like the team at NIF &#8211; whose work will help us solve humanity\u2019s most complex and pressing problems, like providing clean power to combat climate change and maintaining a nuclear deterrent without nuclear testing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have had a theoretical understanding of fusion for over a century, but the journey from knowing to doing can be long and arduous. Today\u2019s milestone shows what we can do with perseverance,\u201d said Dr. Arati Prabhakar, the President\u2019s Chief Advisor for Science and Technology and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMonday, December 5, 2022, was a historic day in science thanks to the incredible people at Livermore Lab and the National Ignition Facility. In making this breakthrough, they have opened a new chapter in NNSA\u2019s Stockpile Stewardship Program,\u201d said NNSA Administrator Jill Hruby. \u201cI would like to thank the members of Congress who have supported the National Ignition Facility because their belief in the promise of visionary science has been critical for our mission. Our team from around the DOE national laboratories and our international partners have shown us the power of collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe pursuit of fusion ignition in the laboratory is one of the most significant scientific challenges ever tackled by humanity, and achieving it is a triumph of science, engineering, and most of all, people,\u201d LLNL Director Dr. Kim Budil said. \u201cCrossing this threshold is the vision that has driven 60 years of dedicated pursuit &#8211; a continual process of learning, building, expanding knowledge and capability, and then finding ways to overcome the new challenges that emerged. These are the problems that the U.S. national laboratories were created to solve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis astonishing scientific advance puts us on the precipice of a future no longer reliant on fossil fuels but instead powered by new clean fusion energy,\u201d U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer said. I commend Lawrence Livermore National Labs and its partners in our nation\u2019s Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) program, including the University of Rochester\u2019s Lab for Laser Energetics in New York, for achieving this breakthrough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaking this future clean energy world a reality will require our physicists, innovative workers, and brightest minds at our DOE-funded institutions, including the Rochester Laser Lab, to double down on their cutting-edge work.&nbsp;That\u2019s why I\u2019m also proud to announce today that I\u2019ve helped to secure the highest ever authorization of over $624 million this year in the National Defense Authorization Act for the ICF program to build on this amazing breakthrough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter more than a decade of scientific and technical innovation, I congratulate the team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the National Ignition Facility for their historic accomplishment,\u201d said U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA). \u201cThis is an exciting step in fusion and everyone at Lawrence Livermore and NIF should be proud of this milestone achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is an historic, innovative achievement that builds on the contributions of generations of Livermore scientists. Today, our nation stands on their collective shoulders. We still have a long way to go, but this is a critical step and I commend the U.S. Department of Energy and all who contributed toward this promising breakthrough, which could help fuel a brighter clean energy future for the United States and humanity,\u201d said U.S. Senator Jack Reed (RI), the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis monumental scientific breakthrough is a milestone for the future of clean energy,\u201d said U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (CA). \u201cWhile there is more work ahead to harness the potential of fusion energy, I am proud that California scientists continue to lead the way in developing clean energy technologies. I congratulate the scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for their dedication to a clean energy future, and I am committed to ensuring they have all of the tools and funding they need to continue this important work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a very big deal. We can celebrate another performance record by the National Ignition Facility. This latest achievement is particularly remarkable because NIF used a less spherically symmetrical target than in the August 2021 experiment,\u201d said U.S. Representative Zoe Lofgren (CA-19). \u201cThis significant advancement showcases the future possibilities for the commercialization of fusion energy. Congress and the Administration need to fully fund and properly implement the fusion research provisions in the recent CHIPS and Science Act and likely more. During World War II, we crafted the Manhattan Project for a timely result. The challenges facing the world today are even greater than at that time. We must double down and accelerate the research to explore new pathways for the clean, limitless energy that fusion promises.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am thrilled that NIF &#8211; the United States\u2019 most cutting-edge nuclear research facility &#8211; has achieved fusion ignition, potentially providing for a new clean and sustainable energy source in the future. This breakthrough will ensure the safety and reliability of our nuclear stockpile, open new frontiers in science, and enable progress toward new ways to power our homes and offices in future decades,\u201d said U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell (CA-15). \u201cI commend the scientists and researchers for their hard work and dedication that led to this monumental scientific achievement, and I will continue to push for robust funding for NIF to support advancements in fusion research.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LLNL\u2019s experiment surpassed the fusion threshold by delivering&nbsp;2.05&nbsp;megajoules (MJ) of energy to the target, resulting in&nbsp;3.15 MJ of fusion energy output, demonstrating for the first time a most fundamental science basis for inertial fusion energy (IFE).&nbsp;Many advanced science and technology developments are still needed to achieve simple, affordable IFE to power homes and businesses, and DOE is currently restarting a broad-based, coordinated IFE program in the United States. Combined with private-sector investment, there is a lot of momentum to drive rapid progress toward fusion commercialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fusion is the process by which two light nuclei combine to form a single heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy. In the 1960s, a group of pioneering scientists at LLNL hypothesized that lasers could be used to induce fusion in a laboratory setting. Led by physicist John Nuckolls, who later served as LLNL director from 1988 to 1994, this revolutionary idea became inertial confinement fusion, kicking off more than 60 years of research and development in lasers, optics, diagnostics, target fabrication, computer modeling and simulation, and experimental design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To pursue this concept, LLNL built a series of increasingly powerful laser systems, leading to the creation of NIF, the world\u2019s largest and most energetic laser system. NIF &#8211; located at LLNL in Livermore, Calif. &#8211; is the size of a sports stadium and uses powerful laser beams to create temperatures and pressures like those in the cores of stars and giant planets, and inside exploding nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Achieving ignition was made possible by dedication from LLNL employees as well as countless collaborators at DOE\u2019s Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and Nevada National Security Site; General Atomics; academic institutions, including the University of Rochester\u2019s Laboratory for Laser Energetics, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California, Berkeley, and Princeton University; international partners, including the United Kingdom\u2019s Atomic Weapons Establishment and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission; and stakeholders at DOE and NNSA and in Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOTO COURTESY U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY WASHINGTON, D.C. &#8211; The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE\u2019s National Nuclear
