On an expanse of desert here between a Netflix studio and self-storage facility, construction is under way on a fusion plant meant to help America win an escalating nuclear-arms race. By the decade’s end, its developers say, the site will be home to a nuclear-fusion facility designed to subject weapons parts to the sorts of stresses they would experience in an all-out nuclear blast. Testing with fusion reactors helps ensure America’s nuclear weapons still work after decades in storage, components are reliable and that new designs will have the desired effect, without resuming the explosive nuclear tests of decades prior. https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/nuclear-fusion-weapons-testing-china-russia-0b5fcfa9 https://archive.li/zqwl6
