• JOREK open source release opens up a code behind ITER disruption modelling – JOREK open source code models instabilities in spherical tokamaks such as MAST-U (Image courtesy of JOREK Team, Photo: Siobhan Smith and Stanislas Pamela) JOREK, the plasma simulation code that is helping design ITER’s disruption mitigation system, is now open source under an LGPLv3.0-or-later licence, and the repository sets out how teams are expected to build […]
• Type One Energy Series B closes at $200M with a fusion licence in hand – Infinity One is the prototype stage of Project Infinity, which the Type One Energy Series B supports (Image courtesy of Type One Energy) The Type One Energy Series B has closed at $200 million, co-led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Clutterbuck Capital, with Siemens Energy Ventures among the participants. It arrives five weeks after Tennessee […]
• Kyoto Fusioneering wins first non-fusion gyrotron order – Quaise’s millimetre wave drilling needs a continuous-operation gyrotron, a duty cycle KF expects fusion power plants to share (Image courtesy of Quaise Energy) Kyoto Fusioneering (KF) has taken its first gyrotron order from outside fusion, and the buyer’s requirement is one KF expects fusion power plants to share. Quaise Energy signed in August for a […]
• Daedal Systems raises $4.035M for fusion plasma diagnostics – Diagnostic handling equipment at NIF, the broad category of infrastructure Daedal now builds as a service (Image courtesy of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) Toronto-based Daedal Systems has raised US$4.035 million to build standardised plasma diagnostics for the fusion industry and deliver them as a contracted service rather than hardware developers build themselves. OMERS Ventures led […]
• Renaissance Fusion, DIFFER and VDL sign MoU on fusion industrialisation – Under the fusion industrialisation MoU, an envisaged consortium would advance fuel cycle and breeding blanket solutions (Image courtesy of Renaissance Fusion) Renaissance Fusion has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) and VDL Groep to develop and industrialise fusion energy systems in the Netherlands. The company envisages a […]
• Gauss Fusion and UKAEA begin de-risking work on HEXA tritium breeding blanket – The HEXA tritium breeding blanket is designed to produce tritium from lithium, extract heat and shield surrounding systems from neutron exposure (Image courtesy of Gauss Fusion) Gauss Fusion has signed a memorandum of understanding with UKAEA that gives its HEXA tritium breeding blanket a framework for working with the LIBRTI programme. The release describes the […]
• Eurofer 97 loses most hardness under the shortest disruption pulses – Magnum-PSI held Eurofer 97 at a steady 500°C while layering millisecond laser pulses on top, closer to a real disruption than earlier lab methods (Image courtesy of DIFFER) Eurofer 97 is the candidate structural steel for the first wall and breeder blanket of Europe’s DEMO fusion reactor. New experimental work from the University of Bristol […]
• First Light Fusion validates FLARE’s compression principle on M3 – FLARE moves more of the compression work into the target, the design choice First Light says could cut driver cost by an order of magnitude (Image courtesy of First Light Fusion) First Light Fusion has proven the fuel compression stage behind FLARE, its inertial fusion architecture, in a series of shots on M3, the Oxford […]
• Inertia’s fusion target design models 26 to 43 times gain – The commercial design Inertia has modelled keeps NIF’s hohlraum-and-capsule architecture but swaps NIF’s gold-lined depleted-uranium hohlraum for lead (Image courtesy of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) Inertia Enterprises has published the physics basis for its fusion target design, the fuel target at the centre of its commercial power plant, in a preprint written with Lawrence Livermore […]
• CFS’s SPARC cryogenic system hits 8 kelvin target – CFS says this plant will need almost no redesign to serve its future ARC power stations (Image courtesy of Commonwealth Fusion Systems) Commonwealth Fusion Systems has confirmed its SPARC cryogenic system reached 8 kelvin, the operating temperature its toroidal-field magnets need to contain plasma inside the tokamak. CFS says the same cryoplant and cooling loops […]
