Proxima's "dumb machine" will be a stellarator called Alpha. It will draw on decades of work done by Germany's Max Planck ...

Start-ups say we’re closer than ever to near-limitless, zero-carbon energy from fusion. When will we get there? DIII-D National Fusion Facility, operated by General Atomics, and Lawrence Livermore ...

Fusion’s first challenge is scientific: can we make it work at scale? Its second, far tougher test is economic: can we make ...

The Joint European Torus (JET), one of the world’s largest and most powerful fusion machines, has demonstrated the ability to reliably generate fusion energy, whilst simultaneously setting a ...

A British startup has set a new pressure record using the world’s strongest pulsed power machine, as it looks to forge a cheaper, faster path to fusion energy. First Light Fusion launched a projectile ...

The proposal would add a fusion-specific pathway within the byproduct material framework (10 C.F.R. Part 30). The NRC describes the rule as “technology-inclusive.” The rule accommodates the wide ...

The world’s newest flagship fusion machine has barely finished proving it can work, and already it is heading into a long pause. After a high profile debut campaign that cost hundreds of millions of ...

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing numerous revisions to its controls on byproduct material produced by fusion machines. While the primary focus of the proposed rule is the ...
