Feeding fusion: hydrogen ice pellets prove effective for fueling fusion plasmas

DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Injecting pellets of hydrogen ice rather than puffing hydrogen gas improves fusion performance. Studies by PPPL and ORNL physicists compared the two methods on the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, looking ahead to the fueling to be used on ITER.
