This cross section of ITER shows the inner walls of the fusion system. New experimental results suggest that sprinkling boron powder into the vessel could protect the inner walls from the plasma’s heat. Additionally, a new computer modeling framework shows the powder may only need to be sprinkled from one location. (Image credit: ITER Organization)
