原文开头
Helion is trying to turn a pulsed-plasma machine into a power plant— on a start-up timeline BY ALEX PASTERNACK J UST EAST OF MALAGA, WASH. —a farm town in apple country—the Columbia River runs between basalt bluffs past the Rock Island Dam, which has turned water into electricity for the Pacific Northwest since 1933. Now, on a flat stretch of land nearby, a very different kind of power project is taking shape. on Earth is harder: first, you must heat light nuclei into plasma at temperatures above 100 million de- grees Celsius, then keep them hot, dense and stable long enough for sufficient reactions to occur. That’s the first challenge. Fuel and materials pose more hard problems. …
