Locked in a Catch 22 funding loop
Posted: Mon May 12, 2014 2:46 am
An acquaintance of mine -now retired- who worked at Lawrence Livermore, recently suggested that Polywell's chances for big (as in $350 million) Energy Department funding would be better if there were published peer-reviewed papers in reputable journals on recent successes of the Polywell. But Navy ONR policy won't allow published papers about the Polywell (peer-reviewed or otherwise) - so Navy gets no Energy Department money for Polywell. And Navy can't get big bucks from the DOD for Polywell because the Energy Department is supposed to develop Navy Nuclear Propulsion (and that's published policy). So the Polywell just sits there, locked in a Catch 22 funding Loop.
Just a W.A.G that scares me a little bit. How say the rest of you?
