SHINE Technologies, LLC, a next-generation fusion technology company, today announced it has demonstrated clearly visible Cherenkov radiation produced by fusion for what is believed to be the first time in history.
Historically, fusion has been demonstrated and detected with instruments instead of a visible light.
This fusion-driven Cherenkov radiation effect is a result of deuterium-tritium fusion operations on SHINE’s main campus, supporting the launch of the company’s FLARE (Fusion Linear Accelerator for Radiation Effects) service, and ultimately supporting its isotope production process. The target chamber of SHINE’s fusion system is submerged underwater, allowing for the generation of visible Cherenkov radiation.
