Neutral Beam Injection (NBI)

Firing energetic neutral atoms into the plasma to heat it and drive current.

NBI injects a beam of high-energy neutral atoms that ionise inside the plasma, depositing heat and momentum and driving current. It is one of HYPERION's heating methods within its 25.9 MW auxiliary budget.
