Technology Assessment & Commercial Milestones

Reviving the muon-catalysed fusion concept (Alvarez, 1957) with modern compact muon sources. Bypasses high-temperature plasma entirely. Thesis: If a single muon can catalyse hundreds of fusions before decay, room-temperature fusion power becomes an accelerator-engineering problem rather than a plasma-physics one. Key engineering bottlenecks: α-sticking limit (~150 catalysed fusions per muon); Muon production energy cost.
