not always "thermal" in the direct sense


high velocity works the same
in fact that's how the science began
with accelerators, and why we still use them today
as learning tools


the original accelerators were electrostatic
not the large electromagnetic machines we use today
though the velocities and energies of the LHC are far beyond
what was imaginable with the first machines


any ions in the area are likely to provide neutrons for us
under the right conditions
Or we could choose a mass to use, then provide the conditions appropriately


it's all in the math
doesn't matter how we choose to get there


we make the sacrifice of a reactor, for the benefit of controllability and sustainability
not out of necessity
