Fusion Gold Creation Debate
Analysis says enriched mercury feedstock costs $15,000/mg versus $135/g gold, and the gold is radioactive, unsellable for 14-18 years.
Key points
- Marathon Fusion claims to have produced stable gold from mercury using fusion technology, saying its production rate is 10 times CERN's record, with a fusion reactor under construction in San Francisco.
- A follow-up post notes that the enriched mercury raw material costs $15,000 per mg, gold is about $135 per gram, and the generated gold is radioactive and takes 14 to 18 years before it can be sold.
