This refers to a new way to do nuclear fusion that promises to be much more usable than magnetic confinement. The Navy has been playing things pretty close to the vest, but this PUBLIC "Request for Proposal" reveals some key details, especially the section about testing P-B11 (proton, boron-11) fusion, which produces MANY, MANY fewer neutrons, and allows a much more efficient means of extracting energy from the fusion reactor.

Yeah, only science geeks are likely to understand this at first "pop", but the links in comments can get a generally intelligent reader "up to speed".

How about us not so generally intelligent? ;-)
