Fusion blanket approach that breeds extra tritium while co-producing stable gold from mercury
Alchemy is Marathon Fusion's approach to the fusion fuel cycle that uses mercury-198 as a neutron multiplier in the reactor blanket. It aims to breed excess tritium to fuel future fusion plants while transmuting mercury into stable gold as a co-product, which Marathon says could roughly double the revenue of a gigawatt-scale fusion plant without reducing energy output or tritium self-sufficiency.
