Laserfusion reactor

A laserfusion reactor is a fusion reactor type that fuses two elements (usually with a low atomic number, such as deuterium and tritium) together and form a heavier element. This process generates a very large amount of energy, as a large amount of matter is converted into energy. The technique of laserfusion uses very powerful and energetic lasers to heat up a usually very small capsule filled with the starting elements until a chain reaction starts. Russia chose to follow this path to achieving fusion instead of tokamak reactors. It proved very succesful, but was found less inefficient in the long end.
