SPARC plans to verify the technology and physics required to build a power plant based on the ARC fusion power plant concept. [1] SPARC is designed to achieve this with margin in excess of breakeven and may be capable of achieving up to 140 MW of fusion power for 10 second bursts despite its relatively compact size. [2] [1]
Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is a spherical tokamak fusion plant concept proposed by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and funded by the UK government. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The project is a proposed DEMO -class successor device to the ITER tokamak proof-of-concept of a fusion plant, the most advanced tokamak ...
[13] The term "tokamak" was coined in 1957 [14] by Igor Golovin, a student of academician Igor Kurchatov.It originally sounded like "tokamag" ("токамаг") — an acronym of the words «toroidal chamber magnetic» («тороидальная камера магнитная»), but Natan Yavlinsky, the author of the first toroidal system, proposed replacing "-mag" with "-mak" for euphony.

Building, owning and operating a power plant to plug fusion power into the grid is its “next act,” Mumgaard said. The startup looked at more than 100 locations around the world for the power ...
The Lockheed Martin Compact Fusion Reactor (CFR) was a fusion power project at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works. [1] Its high-beta configuration, which implies that the ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure is greater than or equal to 1 (compared to tokamak designs' 0.05), allows a compact design and expedited development. The project ...
Compact, high-field tokamak with ReBCO coils and 100 MW planned fusion power: ITER [49] Under construction: 2013–2034? 2034? Cadarache: ITER Council: 6.2 m / 2.0 m: 5.3 T: 15 MA ? Demonstrate feasibility of fusion on a power-plant scale with 500 MW fusion power: DTT (Divertor Tokamak Test facility) [50] [51] [52] Planned: 2022–2029? 2029 ...
The Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) is the UK's national laboratory for fusion research.It is located at the Culham Science Centre, near Culham, Oxfordshire, and is the site of the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) and the now closed Joint European Torus (JET) and Small Tight Aspect Ratio Tokamak (START).
The company says its approach to fusion is different from the popular conception, and that it can bring an alternative commercial nuclear fusion power plant to the market by the 2030s.
