    I somehow deleted my comments when I meant to edit them, but I found the article you were talking about. They’re using Lithium-7 and not Lithium-6 it seems. It sounds like they’re proposing on using a radioisotope like americium from a nuclear reactor as their neutron source, which really won’t create a lot of power and doesn’t seem at all economical to me. Otherwise I really don’t see how they’re getting more power out than they put in with something like a particle accelerator.
