Focus Fusion news. The news has been a bit sparse lately, so I went over and had a look. This article says the early shots aren't going as well as predicted, but they may have an answer for why.
The metallic impurities have decreased as expected, but a ( new? ) source of impurities has emerged---oxygen. Evidently, the oxygen is combining with tungsten prior to the shot to form a layer that subsequently enters the plasma as the shot takes place. It is theorized that several shots will remove the oxygen, and thus the expected improvements can take place.
Let's hope so.
