FIRST TOKAMAK COMPONENT INSTALLED IN A COMMERCIAL FUSION PLANT
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Commonwealth Fusion recently installed the first component of its tokamak, the cryostat base. Construction is expected to wrap up about a year from now, after which there will be about a year of commissioning the hardware. Fusion experiments are planned for 2027. The company is on track to see plasma well in advance of ITER, a big tokamak that is expected to produce more energy than required to run it.
