Of course, you will need a license from the NRC and State regulator’s to operate a nuclear fusion reactor. As a powerful source of X-rays, it would be dangerous in the wrong hands or improperly built and operated. And I’d guess that the ion beam would be of some concern.

Maybe Eric or someone else with the physic’s knowledge could address that.

Either way, I’m sure some licensing would be required. We have to get a license to hold any radioactive source or a commerical x-ray analyzer.

I can tell you from personal experience that being in close proximity to an Ion beam for long periods of time does significantly lower your I.Q. Did Gilligan ever get off that island?

Jimmy,

After carefully reading the LPP site’s development plan this morning, I’m sure the simulator has a lot of variables reserved for inducing spin. Problem with pioneering is the lack of maps, lol.

It also looks like the number of licenses sold next year will probably be far less than a dozen, boding well for type-certification licensing from foreign governments’ agencies, which may in turn become the DOE’s model. NRC’s website looks reasonable as long as the machine, operations, and site are designed with safety and security in mind. Politics remains to be pioneered…..
