Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is an American fusion power company founded in 2018 in Cambridge, Massachusetts after a spin-out from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Its stated goal is to build a small fusion power plant based on the ARC tokamak design.
Decades of worldwide, government-sponsored research in fusion science have established the tokamak-based configuration as the leading approach to confining fusion-grade plasmas with strong magnetic fields.
Learn how Commonwealth Fusion Systems is designing and building fusion energy systems to power the world. See their projects, milestones, and enabling technologies, such as HTS magnets and SPARC.
Mar 4, 2024 · The team achieved a world-record magnetic field strength of 20 tesla for a large-scale magnet, using a new material that operates at 20 kelvins. The papers published in IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity confirm the design and performance of the magnet for a compact fusion power plant.
May 7, 2024 · Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), for example, is using tungsten walls for SPARC, its demonstration fusion reactor. And Korea's KSTAR has a tungsten divertor and recently demonstrated a 30-second, 100-million-degree plasma.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems has assembled a world class team and developed a collaborative approach to commercialize fusion energy on the fastest track possible to mitigate climate change.
