Inside Sandia's Z Machine: Fusion and Stockpile Science
Original: Inside Sandia’s Z machine, where nuclear war meets clean energy
Sandia National Laboratories' Z machine in Albuquerque, the world's most powerful pulsed-power facility, is being profiled for its dual role: helping certify the reliability of America's nuclear stockpile without underground tests, and advancing fusion energy research that could contribute to clean power. The device generates enormous electrical pulses to compress fuel targets, letting scientists study extreme conditions relevant to both weapons stewardship and energy production.
Why now: Renewed interest in fusion energy and nuclear stockpile stewardship is drawing attention to Sandia's flagship facility.
