A stellarator is difficult to build, but could it be the best way to make fusion energy work?

Fusion startups are racing to prove that they can bottle the power of the stars without the sprawling magnets or precision particle beams that defined earlier generations of reactors. Instead of ...

We are on the cusp of putting fusion energy directly onto the grid. After decades of research and development, first-of-a-kind fusion systems are finally being proven. Fusion is expected to be a $1 ...

The U.S. government has launched the process to develop a regulatory framework to develop fusion machines as emerging nuclear technologies. This step to advance fusion machines was announced Feb. 26 ...

A German startup has secured new funding for a peculiar twisted-looking reactor that could prove a quicker path to clean, virtually limitless fusion energy. Proxima Fusion has raised €20mn as it looks ...

Construction of the SMART tokamak is under way at the University of Seville in Spain, aimed at exploring negative versus positive triangularity prospects in spherical tokamaks. Meanwhile, New Zealand ...

About 60 years ago, Russian physicist Lev Artsimovich said nuclear fusion “will be ready when society needs it”. The UK has achieved a “major breakthrough for fusion energy research”, the UK Atomic ...

The UK Atomic Energy Authority has begun using two additive manufacturing - or 3D printing - machines that use complementary methods to manufacture highly specialised components for fusion machines.

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 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 ...
