Lattice Confinement Fusion (LCF) Technology Utilized By Astral Systems LtdUtilizing the principles outlined in the two Physical Review C papers published in 2020 by the LCF research team at GRC, Astral Systems Ltd., has been able to boost d-D fusion neutron output by at least 50 times compared to a commercially available neutron generator predecessor. Astral Systems Ltd., reports that 99 percent of the fusion reactions are produced by LCF within their Electrostatic Confinement plasma-based fusion in a single device.
