US firm validates 1.1-GW nuclear fusion plant design to deliver 400 MW electricity
SMRTR summary
Commonwealth Fusion Systems has validated the core physics behind its ARC fusion power plant through a peer-reviewed study, clearing the way for full hardware engineering. The ARC reactor will produce 1.1 gigawatts of fusion power, delivering 400 megawatts of net electricity to the grid. It will run on 15-minute pulses and uses advanced cooling and disruption-management systems to safely contain superheated plasma, bringing commercial fusion energy closer to reality.
