Gold from mercury? How a tokamak fusion reactor may generate precious metal through neutron transmutation

[Redaktion]

Fusion startup Marathon Fusion claims its theoretical reactor design could generate up to 3000 kg of gold per year by converting mercury inside a layered neutron blanket. The process would also produce tritium fuel for deuterium-tritium fusion, but remains unproven and unreviewed.
