Scientists at have conducted research showing that a powder dropper can successfully drop boron powder into high-temperature plasma within tokamaks that have parts made of a heat-resistant material ...

"The boron is sprinkled into the tokamak plasma as a powder, like from a saltshaker, which is ionized at the plasma's edge and then deposited on the tokamak's inner walls and the exhaust region," said ...

This drawing of a cross section through ITER shows the pellet injection guide tubes and a sketch of a conceptual design for a boron dropper. Joseph Snipes, deputy head for Tokamak Experimental Science ...

Department of Energy scientists confirmed a new process that can help protect the interiors of tokamak fusion reactors. The team showed that they can successfully drop boron powder into ...

What is the connection between boron, an element in a common household cleaner, and tokamaks, ring-shaped fusion facilities that heat fuel to million-degree temperatures? Scientists at the U.S.
