Intelligence Analysis

Norman Rostoker — TAETech Co-Founder

Norman Rostoker (1925-2014) was a plasma physicist who co-founded TAETech with Buzz Aldrin. TAETech pursued FRC-based compact fusion using p-B11 fuel. The FRC technology connects to AFRL/LANL FRC research (FRCHX, FRX-L). The p-B11 fuel choice matches the Polywell program, suggesting convergence on aneutronic fuel cycles.
