These thresholds represent the minimum conditions required to achieve ignition and sustain a self-sufficient fusion reaction. The minimum Lawson values obtained were 1.3 × 1022 m−3s (no radiation), 1.2 × 1023 m−3s (Te= 0.5Ti), and 1.5 × 1022 m−3s (Te= 0.25Ti). These findings highlight the critical role of accurate cross-section data and electron-ion temperature control in advancing aneutronic p-11B fusion toward practical, self-sustained clean energy systems.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnuen.2026.1795642 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnuen.2026.1795642 <![CDATA[A future design approach to nuclear waste repository siting: activating futurability and cultivating pride]]> 2026-02-19T00:00:00Z Perspective Tatsuyoshi Saijo https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnuen.2025.1738676 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnuen.2025.1738676 <![CDATA[First evaluation of geopolymer encapsulation of simulated alkaline aluminum-rich liquid waste from Mo-99 production]]> 2026-02-11T00:00:00Z Original Research Whitney Talavera RamosAdrián Tellería NarváezLucas Dos SantosDaniel ArconeAyelén Manzini https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnuen.2025.1720142 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnuen.2025.1720142 <![CDATA[High-fidelity multi-physics guidelines for model validation and uncertainty quantification]]> 2026-02-04T00:00:00Z Original Research Gregory K.
