We always back the authors!
No need to 'hat tip' in this instance, it was a pleasure to get this good work published. IMO there is not point in doing good work if no-one is able to read it, even if it is the 'silicon offspring' that is GenAI. I must thank our reviewer from UKAEA.

If we cant cool it in gas,
Why not drown it in molten salt…

ARC fusion reactor is a conceptual design for a compact, high-power nuclear fusion power plant, developed by MIT and Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS).

CHF - critical heat flux
UK needs a platform,
We need to build it

Alexandar: can we get more energy out of fusion than we put it! Yes, but it is a scale up problem.

Alexandar: the real question is can we get more money out of it

Beautiful, thank you!
Truly I am struggling with ‘frozen in time’ aspect of english but now I have a name for it.

Thanks Jo!
I am sure the German language will have better words for this…
I enjoyed call it as fossil etymology but i feel that does a disservice to how much I am struggling with english sometimes.

Following Nejdet Ekrans expert review of Diagnostics and Experimental Methods in Thermal Fusion test beds.

Q: Why do we need to more than bulk measure?

A: While a stopped clock is right twice a day, peak times exist

Me: where is the water in magneto-hydro-dyanmics
MSCopilot: “hydro” is a historical artifact in terms like MHD, even when no water is involved.
Me: *mindblown* so hydrocarbon does not mean 'hydrogen' carbon but liquid or gas combustion fuels

Dame Caroline became a safety expert for the Government and, in 1947, she was the only female member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers committee that designed the BS1363 safety standard which three-pin plugs and sockets continue to use to this day.

Aside from now learning en- and em-dashes…
When did everyone start using pipes | the vertical line, do people go on an online marketing course at some point Ive not yet unlocked. Its not a traditional punctuation mark for general pros, is from coders being cool?

Timely, with the discussion we might move to 10% enrichment for civilian fuel for fission power stations

I couldn’t agree more.
