We’ve been working on the Power Distribution Network (PDN) control system for a while now. It’s a complex system that will impact everything on the ship, so we think it was time well spent.
The Reactor Systems Group has released an overview of the design and operation of the reactor’s coolant system. The overview is the result of extensive research and simulation work and represents the proposed design for reactor coolant system.
Field generator prototypes have successfully contained low-temperature plasma (around 100K degrees celsius), a crucial first step towards moving the fusion reactor from theoretical concept to construction.
