1.3 megajoules is the amount of energy that was generated in last summer’s successful ignition experiment on the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This is equal to 0.36 kilowatt-hours. How can that energy be converted to electricity people can use for everyday applications, such as a powerplant?
I spent more than 20 years at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory , serving as the Group Leader for High-Intensity Laser-Plasma Physics and Associate Program Leader in the Fusion Energy Sciences Program. About eight years ago, I became Program Element Leader in the Inertial Confinement Fusion Program.
