Commonwealth Fusion Makes the Physics Case For Its 400 MW Reactor
Commonwealth Fusion has published five peer-reviewed papers laying out the physics case for ARC, its planned 400 MW fusion power plant, which would follow the company's smaller SPARC tokamak now under construction. The papers suggest ARC could produce more energy than it consumes using high-temperature superconducting magnets, molten-salt heat extraction, and 15-minute fusion pulses. Ars Technica reports: ARC will be a tokamak that hosts fusion …
ARC fusion plant papers back CFS grid target
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has published five peer-reviewed papers setting out the physics basis for its planned ARC fusion plant, using lessons from the company’s SPARC demonstration machine in Devens, Massachusetts. The papers were published in a special Journal of Plasma Physics collection and cover the main plasma-physics questions behind the tokamak design. The set […] The post ARC fusion plant papers back CFS grid target appeared fi…
One of the world’s leading private fusion companies, Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), has published a series of documents that the company says “confirm” that its ARC power plant, if built as planned, will produce more electricity than it consumes. But some researchers say that results from a reactor are needed [...] Entry A company announces that it managed to produce electricity through nuclear fusion was first published in AgendAR.
