Announces Plans for Fusion Pilot Plant
Innovative concept leverages decades of expertise in
fusion research and development
San Diego, Oct. 20 – General Atomics (GA) announced a new concept for a fusion pilot plant (FPP) to deliver clean, safe, and economically viable fusion energy.
GA’s FPP concept utilizes a steady-state, compact advanced tokamak design approach, where the fusion plasma is maintained for long periods of time to maximize efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and increase the lifetime of the facility. Learn more about the concept, please visit: www.ga.com/fusion-pilot-plant.

Government-backed programme aims to prove low carbon electricity from fusion
The UK Government has confirmed the West Burton power station site in North Nottinghamshire will be home to the ground-breaking STEP prototype fusion energy plant.
The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) plant will be designed and constructed to demonstrate the ability to put net electricity on the grid. It will also pave the way to enable future commercial fusion energy plants to be commissioned and constructed.

Fusion Energy Regulation
"Putting it in Writing"
By Tony Gerillo, EIC Fusion Energy News International
As the only news outlet in attendance at the Fusion Industry Association’s 1st annual policy meeting, it turns out to be a responsibility not to be taken lightly. Unpacking the day’s full agenda deserves a deep look into what the industry has achieved and what the next steps in regulation will be.
It is clear that fusion energy is inherently safe and that regulation will become a matter of getting the wording right so that society can move past the nomenclature of nuclear atomic energy having a negative impact on humans. Positive branding of fusion is difficult due to the negative history around nuclear fission, even though the only branding trait they share is in that “nuclear” appears in both names.
Where will fusion reactor regulations come from?
Tokamak Energy moves closer to commercial fusion: 100M degree plasma a world record for a spherical tokamak
Tokamak Energy has demonstrated a world-first with its privately-funded ST40 spherical tokamak, achieving a plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, the threshold required for commercial fusion energy.
This is by far the highest temperature ever achieved in a spherical tokamak and by any privately funded tokamak (Brief Read Here)
Breakthrough in Efficient Powering of HTS Magnets Tokamak Energy has developed a novel power converter inside a vacuum cryostat. Successful tests demonstrated a 50% reduction in the heat load from the current leads.

South Korea’s Fusion Reactor Sustained Temperatures 7 Times Hotter Than the Sun
The 14-year-old tokamak experiment is a building block for ITER, which will one day be the largest fusion reactor in the world.
The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research center (KSTAR) is an established tokamak that has been chipping away at its milestone goals since 2008. It’s also a key part of the developmental pipeline that is currently ramping up to the massive International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project, or ITER. So yes, every milestone is doubly important in the global push toward nuclear fusion energy.
