POLICYDOE adds helium to the Critical Material List
DOE added helium to its Critical Material List, citing semiconductors, natural-gas leak testing and quantum computing. Helium also cools fusion magnets and high-temperature gas reactors. Affects Fusion.
+ THESISPROJECTInertia cuts fusion fuel pellet fabrication time from days to minutes
Per TechCrunch, the company reported a process that reduces fuel pellet production from several days to minutes, developed with NIF support. Its full-scale plant is expected to use 10 pellets per second.

Lasers or pulsed power crush a tiny fuel pellet from every side in billionths of a second, so it fuses before it can fly apart. A power plant would repeat this several times a second.
