• How the DOE fusion roadmap plans to close six critical gaps to the grid – Construction work at the CFS Devens facility, where SPARC’s magnet and vacuum vessel assemblies are progressing toward first plasma operations (Image courtesy of Commonwealth Fusion Systems) The U.S. Department of Energy has published its finalized Fusion Science and Technology Roadmap, setting out a national strategy for commercialising fusion energy by the mid-2030s. Built around a […]
• UK Fusion Energy planning framework opens for consultation – The UK’s draft fusion energy planning framework, EN-8, aims to give companies across the fusion sector the regulatory certainty to invest and scale (Image courtesy of Tokamak Energy) The UK government published EN-8, its draft National Policy Statement for Fusion Energy Generation, on June 8, 2026, opening a formal consultation that runs until August 17. […]
• CENTURAY’s twelve-year ITER cable mission – High-voltage cable qualification at CENTURAY, part of a twelve-year supply commitment to the ITER fusion project (Image courtesy of CENTURAY) Delivering cable systems to a nuclear fusion facility is not a standard procurement exercise. The specifications are exacting, the timelines are long, and the liability window extends well beyond physical delivery. When CENTURAY took on […]
• Optimising tokamak divertor geometry without disturbing the core plasma – MAST Upgrade at UKAEA’s Culham Campus – the device whose geometry is used in the working examples bundled with FORGE (Image courtesy of UKAEA) Getting to an advanced divertor configuration in a free-boundary equilibrium is one of the more stubborn problems in tokamak modelling. Free-boundary solvers pushed to achieve both the desired core plasma and […]
• Inside the ARC physics basis for CFS’s 400 MW fusion power plant – The ARC V3A design targets a fusion gain of Q = 50 and is projected to deliver 400 MW of net electricity, with physics basis modelling published in the Journal of Plasma Physics in June 2026 (Image courtesy of Commonwealth Fusion Systems) Commonwealth Fusion Systems has published five peer-reviewed papers and an editorial in the […]
• Thea Energy builds first stellarator digital twin for Helios power plant – Thea Energy’s planar coil stellarator design forms the basis of the Helios digital twin, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, Synopsys, Argonne, and PPPL (Image courtesy of Thea Energy) Thea Energy has launched a multi-partner collaboration to develop a digital twin of its Helios fusion power plant – a system the company describes as the first […]
• Pacific Fusion reports 440 GW milestone in pulser module scale-up – More than 1,000 qualification shots later, Pacific Fusion’s pulser module prototype had proved the case for factory-built fusion (Image courtesy of Pacific Fusion) Pacific Fusion has completed its second set of technical milestones, validating a scaled prototype of the pulser module at the heart of its fusion system. The prototype, roughly one-third the size of […]
• ITER tokamak assembly passes halfway as fifth sector module lands in pit – Five of nine vacuum vessel sectors now in place inside the ITER tokamak pit, with 200 degrees of the plasma chamber assembled and two further sector module installations scheduled before the end of 2026 (Image courtesy of ITER) Five of nine vacuum vessel sectors are now seated in the ITER tokamak pit following the successful […]
• General Fusion partners with General Atomics on LM26 plasma diagnostics – As General Fusion and General Atomics turn their attention to measuring plasma at 100 million degrees Celsius, the diagnostics race traces back to a machine that took under two years to build from the ground up (Image courtesy of General Fusion) General Fusion and General Atomics have announced a collaboration to develop advanced diagnostic systems […]
• Focused Energy closes record $240M laser fusion financing round – Record laser fusion financing is set to transform the Biblis site into the industrial blueprint Europe’s fusion industry has been waiting for (Image courtesy of Focused Energy) Focused Energy has raised $240 million in a Series A round, securing what the Darmstadt-based company says is the largest fully secured Series A financing in the global […]
