Problems for the nuclear fusion in NIF to overcome

 Le NIF (National Ignition Facility), à Livermore, en Californie. Le système utilise 192 faisceaux laser convergeant vers le centre de cette sphère géante, pour faire imploser une minuscule pastille d’hydrogène.

" Finally, there is a long way from this spectacular demonstration to a power generation reactor. In addition to the fact that the gain would have to be a hundred times greater to allow an effective exploitation of the phenomenon, there is another size limit. The NIF only shoots once a day and only produces energy in a very short time. "It would take ten shots per second to have an electrical production system,"
