Fusion Tech in Medicine, Industry May Fund Path to Power Plants

Fusion Tech in Medicine, Industry May Fund Path to Power Plants

With more than a dozen companies working on different designs to trigger and control fusion reactions, researchers have also come up with innovative systems that can be used in applications from medicine to industrial imaging to electric vehicles. Creating businesses around these products can generate revenue now that will help support the end-goal of a fusion power plant, said Michl Binderbauer, chief executive officer of TAE Technologies Inc.

U.S. to announce fusion energy ‘breakthrough’

U.S. to announce fusion energy ‘breakthrough’

Scientists hit a key milestone in the quest to create abundant zero-carbon power through nuclear fusion. But they still have a long way to go.

The Department of Energy plans to announce Tuesday that scientists have been able for the first time to produce a fusion reaction that creates a net energy gain — a major milestone in the decades-long, multibillion-dollar quest to develop a technology that provides unlimited, cheap, clean power.

The U.S. nuclear fusion breakthrough is a huge milestone — but unlimited clean energy is still decades off

The U.S. nuclear fusion breakthrough is a huge milestone — but unlimited clean energy is still decades off

In some ways, scientists at the Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) have been a bit down and out. The $3.5 billion facility was designed to replicate the atom-smashing reactions that occur inside the sun, a difficult process that requires enormous amounts of heat and pressure, and could theoretically solve humanity’s energy and climate woes.

But technical obstacles put NIF a decade behind in its goal of achieving fusion “ignition,” that is, getting more energy out of one of those reactions than it put in. The facility uses the largest lasers in the world to try and do that, focusing energy on a tiny capsule filled with hydrogen isotopes.

New TAE fusion research alert!

Fusion Science & Technology has published two articles that highlight the tremendous progress we’ve made through collaborations with the US Department of Energy, national labs, and public universities: 

“How the Exascale Computing Project and Private Magnetic Fusion Research Stimulated Each Other” details TAE’s work with the US DOE’s Exascale Computing Project since 2016. With access to these world-class supercomputers and software, the TAE team created high-fidelity simulations of FRC plasmas that helped improve plasma confinement and improved the ECP’s computational toolset. 

That means this research – alongside related simulation work  with our partners at the University of California, Irvine – advances TAE’s approach to fusion while delivering insights and benefit for the industry at large

Dig into the results of this research.

“Advancing Fusion Research and Development at TAE Technologies Through INFUSE Program” captures six years of R&D collaboration with support from the US DOE’s Innovation Network for Fusion Energy (INFUSE) program. 

This long history of collaboration with INFUSE has led to better FRC plasma stability and control, innovative heating schemes, and breakthrough insight into plasma-material interactions – all of which advance progress towards a commercially viable fusion power plant

Catch up on TAE’s work with the US DOE and INFUSE.

We believe the path to commercial fusion power will be built by the collective effort of the private sector and public fusion R&D. Today we’re celebrating the accomplishments of our team and our collaborators, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory; Rochester University; Sandia National Laboratories; and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, among many others. 

Together, we’ll continue to drive innovation and accelerate progress toward grid-ready hydrogen-boron fusion power

What compels someone to embark on the unknown? To stand on the precipice of that which has never been done before — that which some would say couldn’t be achieved? At TAE, we’re compelled by the possibility of delivering a carbon-free power source that would revolutionize energy access around the world. We have a vision for a future with safe, abundant, hydrogen-boron fusion, and we’re daring to climb this clean energy Everest to create a better tomorrow. Reaching the summit will be a challenge of perseverance, vision and determination, but at TAE we believe a goal is only impossible until it’s accomplished.
