[{"type":"text","content":"\n LOS ANGELES, CA, June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire ‒ US Nuclear’s (OTCQB: UCLE) partner MIFTI expects within 18 months, to be generating over 1,000 trillion neutrons per pulse in a compact 10 MegaAmpere device with the goal of achieving net energy gain for the first time in the history of humankind.  The most important criteria for the successful creation of controlled thermonuclear fusion energy is the generation of thousands of trillions of neutrons; enough to perpetuate a reaction that would achieve breakeven or net-energy-gain, thus generating energy much greater than the energy required to produce the effect.  MIFTI’s Staged Z-pinch (SZP) fusion generator is comparatively simple, cost-effective, scalable, and fueled by a low-cost isotope of hydrogen from seawater.  All experimental testing strongly indicates that MIFTI’s invention is a viable answer for cost-effective carbon-free power production. MIFTI has already achieved extraordinary success, repeatedly generating over 50 billion neutrons per pulse on a 1 MegaAmpere machine and achieving the required temperature, stability, and confinement time.  Advanced computer simulation codes MACH2 and HYDRA predicted 50 billion neutron generation on MIFTI’s 1 MA machine, and MIFTI achieved those numbers repeatedly. Now, MACH2 and HYDRA predict that MIFTI’s 10 MegaAmpere machine will produce over 1,000 trillion neutrons per pulse, and once demonstrated, the transformation of our power production systems should ensue.  In addition, MIFTI’s SZP thermonuclear fusion technology will have immediate utility for the cost-effective production of radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine through their MIFTEC division.   MIFTI has been awarded a $5 million ARPA-E grant, and was recently granted the INFUSE award so that Lawrence Livermore National Lab could use MIFTI’s technology to create a large neutron flux that LLNL requires for development of their neutron detector. This is significant because it is logical that LLNL would have selected the technology that creates the most neutrons and they selected MIFTI. Estimates indicate that one $25 million US Nuclear and MIFTI 20 MegaAmp SZP Fusion Generator should deliver more neutrons than billion-dollar nuclear fission reactors do...
