just another one of the many new uses for tungsten - each adding to the pressure of the supply side
Oh but you want cash don't you - perhaps you could see if its possible to 3D print that

Fusion energy holds promise as apotential solution to humanity’s energy demands. However, unlike nuclearfission, the development of economically viable fusion reactors facessignificant challenges. One such obstacle is the intense neutron irradiation thatsubjects reactor materials to extreme stress, increasing the risk ofembrittlement. To address this, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratoryhave turned to 3Dprinting to create flawless tungsten componentscapable of withstanding the extreme temperaturesand conditions within fusion reactors. Leveraging additive electron beam manufacturing, they have successfully produced complex tungsten parts with intricate geometries, paving the way for advancements in fusion energy technology.

The challenges inherent infusion technology primarily stem from the rigorous demands placed on thematerials utilized, necessitating resilience against extreme temperatures andintense energy levels. Tungsten emerges as a promising candidate due to its remarkablyhigh melting point, rendering it well-suited for fusion reactors where plasmatemperatures soar beyond 180 million degrees Fahrenheit. However, despite itsfavorable properties, tungsten presents a paradox: while highly durable underextreme conditions, it becomes brittle and prone to fracture at roomtemperature and in its pure state. The slightest impurities can inducealterations in its structure, exacerbating its fragility.
