Nuclear Fusion : Could This Be the Next Thing? The first is the previously discussed inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and the other is magnetic confinement fusion (MCF). This skepticism, as well as the monetary and manufacturing hurdles that nuclear fusion currently faces, support the idea that nuclear fusion will not be viable as a sufficient energy source for decades. Offering a clean, reliable source of energy, nuclear fusion will be a heavily researched field in the years to come, despite its obstacles and hurdles. In all, this finding will help rekindle interest in the field of nuclear fusion energy both academically and monetarily.
