| - Inertial Fusion Energy is a proposed approach to building a nuclear fusion power plant based on performing inertial confinement fusion at industrial scale. This approach to fusion power is still in a research phase. ICF first developed shortly after the development of the laser in 1960, but was a classified US research program during its earliest years. In 1972, John Nuckolls wrote a paper predicting that compressing a target could create conditions where fusion reactions are chained together, a process known as fusion ignition or a burning plasma. On August 8, 2021, the NIF at Livermore National Laboratory became the first ICF facility in the world to demonstrate this (see plot). This breakthrough drove the US Department of Energy to create an Inertial Fusion Energy program in 2022 with a budget of 3 million dollars in its first year. (en)
- Une centrale à fusion inertielle est une centrale électrique destinée à produire industriellement de l'électricité à partir de l'énergie de la fusion nucléaire par des techniques de confinement inertiel. Ce type de centrale est, dans les années 2020, encore au stade de la recherche. On considère souvent que le seul procédé de fusion qui ait des chances d'aboutir à moyen terme (d'ici quelques décennies) à la production civile d'énergie est la filière tokamak utilisant la technique du confinement magnétique, représentée par le projet ITER. Cependant, des études récentes[Quand ?] permettent d'envisager, parallèlement à la filière tokamak, la mise en place d'une seconde filière de production qui utiliserait de telles centrales à fusion inertielle.
