For the first time, a scientific facility succeeded in producing more energy from a nuclear fusion reaction than was used to start it. This milestone\u2014known as scientific break-even\u2014was achieved by the <strong>National Ignition Facility (NIF)<\/strong> in the United States. It was a giant leap for a technology that has been promising an energy revolution for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what now? Does this mean we already have fusion energy? Not quite. The next challenge is just as complex: turning that achievement into a power plant that can generate electricity continuously, reliably, and economically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is where <strong>Susana Reyes<\/strong> enters the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is Susana Reyes, and what is Xcimer Energy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Susana Reyes is Vice President of Engineering at <strong>Xcimer Energy<\/strong>, a U.S.-based startup headquartered in Denver, Colorado, working on inertial confinement fusion reactors. Before joining the private sector, Reyes spent years in U.S. national labs and has been involved in pioneering fusion projects since the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her company is part of the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s public-private partnership program and has already raised over <strong>$100 million<\/strong> in funding to develop a new kind of fusion reactor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her talk at the <strong>Future Trends Forum<\/strong>, Reyes made one point very clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPhysics is no longer the bottleneck. What\u2019s missing is engineering. The hard part now is building something that works every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is inertial confinement fusion (and why does it matter)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand the challenge, you first need to understand the concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nuclear fusion<\/strong> is about replicating the process that powers the Sun: fusing hydrogen nuclei into helium to release vast amounts of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two main approaches to achieving this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Magnetic confinement<\/strong>, like in the well-known <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iter.org\/\"><strong>ITER<\/strong><\/a><strong> project<\/strong>, which uses giant magnetic fields to contain superheated plasma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inertial confinement<\/strong>, the approach used by <strong>Xcimer Energy<\/strong> and the <strong>NIF<\/strong>, which involves firing powerful lasers at a tiny capsule filled with hydrogen fuel, causing it to implode and trigger fusion conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This second method has already proven that fusion is physically possible. But it&#8217;s still far from being a practical energy source. Why? Because the current systems\u2014like NIF\u2014are too large, expensive, and complex to scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The NIF Milestone Explained (and What\u2019s Still Missing)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December 2022, the <strong>National Ignition Facility (NIF)<\/strong> achieved something that once seemed impossible: producing more fusion energy than the fuel absorbed. This milestone is known as <em>scientific break-even<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But does this mean we now have fusion energy ready to power the grid? Not quite. What NIF achieved was proof that the physics works\u2014but only at an experimental scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To put it into perspective:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NIF\u2019s laser pulse delivered <strong>2 megajoules<\/strong> of energy to a capsule the size of a pea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fusion reaction produced <strong>8.6 megajoules<\/strong>\u2014over four times the energy deposited into the fuel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But&#8230; the full system required <strong>hundreds of megajoules<\/strong> from the grid to power the lasers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words: the reaction works, but the facility consumes far more energy than it generates. The challenge now is not proving the physics\u2014it\u2019s making the entire system efficient and repeatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s where startups like <strong>Xcimer Energy<\/strong> come in, with proposals to simplify the design and cut costs to move from lab experiments to grid-scale power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Do We Get There? Xcimer\u2019s Three Key Innovations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Susana Reyes clearly explains what her team is working on to overcome current barriers. These are the <strong>three main innovations<\/strong> that could make laser fusion viable at industrial scale:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Cheaper, more powerful lasers<\/strong><br>NIF\u2019s laser system covers the size of <strong>three football fields<\/strong> and uses <strong>192 beams<\/strong> to ignite a single fuel capsule. It\u2019s impressive\u2014but inefficient.<br>Xcimer proposes using <strong>excimer laser technology<\/strong>, which could reduce the cost per unit of energy by up to <strong>60 times<\/strong>. These lasers also deliver more energy per pulse, allowing for <strong>larger, easier-to-manufacture fuel capsules<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. A reactor with only two beams<\/strong><br>Instead of 192 beams firing from all directions, Xcimer\u2019s reactor uses just <strong>two opposing laser beams<\/strong> entering the chamber from opposite sides.<br>This dramatically simplifies the design, reduces costs, and improves system reliability. <strong>Less is more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. A chamber with liquid walls<\/strong><br>One of the most delicate parts of any fusion reactor is the reaction chamber, which is constantly exposed to intense heat and particles.<br>Xcimer offers an elegant solution: lining the chamber with a <strong>liquid wall<\/strong> made from a molten salt alloy called <strong>FLiBe<\/strong>. It absorbs the energy from each shot, cools down, and is reused.<br>This innovation extends the reactor\u2019s lifespan and supports continuous operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Could It Become Reality?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xcimer is working toward having a <strong>pilot fusion power plant<\/strong>\u2014named <strong>Athena FPP<\/strong>\u2014operational by <strong>the middle of the next decade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t some distant dream: the core technology already exists. The challenge is to <strong>integrate it<\/strong>, <strong>simplify it<\/strong>, and <strong>scale it up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Reyes puts it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re not saying it\u2019s easy\u2014but it is possible, if we apply engineering principles to fusion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why It Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fusion energy is the <strong>holy grail of energy<\/strong>: clean, safe, with no long-lived radioactive waste, and based on an almost unlimited fuel supply.<br>But to move from promise to reality, we need more than science. We need <strong>design<\/strong>, <strong>integration<\/strong>, and <strong>industrial engineering<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s what <strong>Susana Reyes<\/strong> offers: a <strong>clear, realistic, and achievable vision<\/strong> for the future of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And most importantly\u2014not in 50 years. <strong>Possibly in just 10.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article is part of the analysis developed by the <strong>Future Trends Forum<\/strong>. The full report, <em>\u201c<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundacionbankinter.org\/en\/ftf-informes\/fusion-forward\/#report-section-00\"><em>Fusion Energy: a Revolution in Progress<\/em><\/a><em>\u201d<\/em> brings together insights from more than twenty international experts and outlines <strong>five critical pillars<\/strong> for scaling fusion as a climate, economic, and technological engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Download it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundacionbankinter.org\/en\/ftf-informes\/fusion-forward\/#report-section-00\">here<\/a><\/strong> and discover in detail how we can start building tomorrow\u2019s energy system\u2014<strong>today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">o-o-o-o-o-o-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Susana Reyes (Xcimer Energy) reveals at the Future Trends Forum the key engineering challenges to bring inertial confinement fusion to commercial scale<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26984,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oaas_summary":"This article reports that fusion energy has reached a major scientific milestone\u2014scientific break-even achieved by the National Ignition Facility\u2014but emphasizes that the main challenge is now engineering: turning lab success into a practical, repeatable, and economical power plant. At the Future Trends Forum, Susana Reyes, VP of Engineering at Xcimer Energy, argued that physics is solved; the remaining work is integration, simplicity, and industrial-scale design to make fusion reliable and cost-effective.\n\nXcimer\u2019s approach centers on three innovations: cost-effective, high-energy excimer lasers; a dramatically simplified reactor using only two opposing laser beams instead of hundreds; and a liquid-walled chamber lined with FLiBe molten salt to absorb energy and enable continuous operation. These engineering choices aim to shrink complexity, lower costs, and support frequent firing, with a pilot plant (Athena FPP) targeted by the mid-2030s. The takeaway: fusion\u2019s promise is closer than ever, but realizing it at grid scale depends on practical engineering and systems integration rather than new physics.","_oaas_audio_url":"https:\/\/www.fundacionbankinter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/summary-26792-1788964705.mp3"},"categories":[204],"class_list":["post-26792","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science-and-technology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
