Hold on there! Would you like to explain to me why there should be an Inertial Fusion Energy article in addition to the exisiting Inertial confinement fusion article? -- Art Carlson 07:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Your article looks good, and I would like to thank you for your work, but I would also like to define the boundaries of the two better. Let's look at the tables of contents:
Inertial Fusion Energy
* 1 Fusion vs fission * 2 Civilian fusion energy techniques * 3 History of fusion energy * 4 Fusion advantages * 5 IFE projects o 5.1 The competing projects o 5.2 Overall principles of an IFE reactor o 5.3 The Sandia Z-IFE project * 6 Notes and references * 7 Internal links * 8 External links o 8.1 History of fusion o 8.2 Generalities about IFE o 8.3 Inertial fusion experimentation sites o 8.4 IFE projects
The first 4 sections are not specific to ICF. Except for one-line summaries, the information should probably be in the general article on Fusion power instead. On the other end of the spectrum is section 5.3, which is very specific and should probably have its own article.
Inertial confinement fusion
* 1 Basic fusion * 2 ICF design * 3 Issues with the successful achievement of ICF * 4 Brief history * 5 Inertial Fusion Energy * 6 Inertially Confined Fusion and the Nuclear Weapons Program * 7 Pure Fusion Nuclear Weapons * 8 See also * 9 External links
Again, much of the content of the first section should probably be moved to Fusion power. Otherwise, both articles have a section on history, both have a section on inertial fusion as an energy source. The first article has two sections on competing projects and reactor issues. The second has two sections on hydrogen bombs. The history of civil and military research cannot be separated, and the principles (e.g. the reactions used, compression of a pellet to attain ρR, driving the compression with ablation) are common to both. If the content kept here is trimmed down to essentially history, physics, power plant engineering, weapons engineering, and current research programs, then one article is plenty. -- Art Carlson 11:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I can't accept your work which dismantled the article completly. Moreover, I can't find the parts you moved (as you said) to Inertial confinement fusion. So, I am sorry, but I revert to a previous acceptable version. Croquant 14:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree that there are some redundant parts in this article, but it is certainly NOT a reason to remove it ENTIRELY. Moreover, you DID NOT copy, as you wrongly said, the removed parts to Inertial confinement fusion. So, in my opinion, it's very close to vandalism. Croquant 17:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

The first 4 sections of this article, although pretty, consisted of very brief summaries of the history and basic physics of nuclear fusion and fission reactions, weapons and power plants. Important, to be sure, but not necessary on a page with this title. I removed them and did minor streamlining of the remaining information to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the page.-- BlackAndy 02:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
The bzz about the power plant (with the laser-driven fusion) holds since past century. Generations of researchers grown up with this idea. I see no journal publications in the list of references; and in the present form, subject of article looks a little bit fake. I believe, such a plant is doable, but why the readers have to believe? Can anybody provide the references to the serious (prefery available online) publications in respectable scientific journals? dima ( talk) 23:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 4 external links on
Inertial fusion power plant. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
