The TAE Technologies experimental program has demonstrated reliable field-reversed configuration (FRC) formation and sustainment, driven by fast ions via high-power neutral-beam (NB) injection.

TAE Technologies Advances Site Evaluation Process with Multi-State Visits Ahead of First Fusion Power Plant

TAE Technologies Advances Site Evaluation Process with Multi-State Visits Ahead of First Fusion Power Plant

TAE Technologies commenced site visits across multiple U.S. locations as part of its siting and development process for its first fusion power plant.

The visits, scheduled across the United States, are part of a broader evaluation effort to identify locations capable of supporting the development, construction and long-term operation of TAE’s initial 50 MWe fusion facility and future utility-scale deployments.
