The tour included visits to Alabama, Ohio and Texas, where meetings and on-site evaluations addressed a range of factors relevant to deployment, including infrastructure readiness, grid connectivity, land access, workforce availability, transportation access, state and local incentives, and long-term development potential.
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.

Trump Media & Technology Group to Merge with TAE Technologies, a Premier Fusion Power Company, in All-Stock Transaction Valued at More Than $6 Billion
From our control room to our accelerator beams, take a virtual tour of TAE's unique approach to fusion in 6 photos. With our teams laser-focused on delivering commercial hydrogen-boron fusion power, we don’t often have the opportunity to open our doors to the...
Yet, our CEO Michl Binderbauer managed to give a profoundly detailed explanation in less than 10 minutes. His presentation touches on the rigorous experimentation TAE has undergone over the company’s 25 year history, and you can read more about all the National Laboratory-scale devices we’ve built to confine fusion plasmas and optimized to develop our next machine.
Long before he became TAE’s Chief Science Officer and an award-winning pioneer in the field of fusion energy, Dr. Toshiki Tajima was a young scientist studying fusion in Tokyo, where his daily walks took him past Shinobazu Pond.
There, he observed a simple phenomenon: A mother duck paddling through the water and a string of ducklings gliding along behind in her wake. They traveled together at the same speed, despite their difference in size and strength.
As the scientific community—and arguably, the world—experiences renewed interest in the development of fusion energy, it’s worth highlighting the diversity of approaches being pursued. Fusion pioneers are developing a variety of machines that employ a variety of fuels each with their own set of attractive features and technical challenges, but all with the same goal – to develop the technology that enables commercial electricity production from fusion energy. The innovations we’re seeing now, largely in the private sector, represent a wealth of scientific and engineering prowess built on decades of research and experimentation.
Nuclear fusion is the primordial source of the Sun’s energy. For decades, scientists have been trying to recreate it here on Earth. Now, they’re closer than ever to achieving it, and unlocking a future of clean power for all.
In June 2022, amid an oil supply shortage resulting in part from the war in Ukraine, the United States marked a devastating milestone: The average price of a gallon of gasoline topped $5 for the first time in American history.
