Conventional field-reversed configurations (FRCs), high-beta, prolate compact toroids embedded in poloidal magnetic fields, face notable stability and confinement concerns.
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.
TAE CEO Michl Binderbauer will join Type One Energy CTO Dr. Thomas Pedersen; Head of Division for Innovation, Industry, and Digital Economy at the Federal Chancellery of Germany Lutz Reimers; and CEO of EFI Foundation and EJM Associates Ernest J. Moniz for a CERAWeek session on fusion commercialization by the 2030s.
HTPD, hosted by the MIT Plasma Science & Fusion Center, will include insights on instrumentation, machine learning, and experimental and analytical techniques for high-energy-density plasmas; magnetic confinement fusion; inertial confinement fusion; space plasmas; astrophysics; and industrial applications.
TAE scientists will join this annual conference reviewing recent results in the physics of controlled fusion energy.
