Commercial fusion power plant now closer to reality
Successfully harnessing the power of fusion energy could lead to cleaner and safer energy for all—and contribute substantially to combating the climate crisis. Towards this goal, Type One Energy has published a comprehensive, self-consistent, and robust physics basis for a practical fusion pilot power plant.
'A design anchored in reality' Knoxville company one step closer to creating fusion power plant
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — As Knoxville-based Type One Energy makes plans to build a prototype fusion power plant at the Bull Run Fossil Plant, seven peer-reviewed scientific papers published in the Journal of Plasma Physics (JPP) show no significant scientific barriers remain in achieving fusion energy using its stellarator technology. Type One Energy's first Infinity Two stellarator fusion power plant project is being developed with the Tenness…
