Proxima Fusion, a venture-capital-backed company working on making nuclear fusion a reality, has open-sourced its reactor design in a scientific journal this week. Although a highly technical ...

The company aims to build a fully operational fusion reactor by 2031. Its competitors include Commonwealth Fusion Systems, which is backed by Bill Gates’s venture fund Breakthrough Energy Ventures.

Each small modular reactor, or SMR, would generate approximately 300 megawatts of energy, enough to power about 300,000 homes, in addition to the Palisades plant's 800 megawatts of generation.

The Lufeng nuclear power plant will significantly reduce the country’s reliance on coal for power.

It will build its small, one megawatt molten salt reactor beneath a newly-completed laboratory at Abilene Christian University, in an underground trench 25 feet deep and 80 feet long, covered by a ...

A new record for maintaining plasma burning inside a fusion reactor has been set in France, beating China's previous benchmark by 25%.

This hot, electrically charged gas easily becomes unstable, which can lead to lost energy and limit the efficiency of a possible future nuclear fusion reactor. The WEST tokamak machine in southern ...

This accomplishment represents a substantial advancement towards realising fusion energy. The record-breaking fusion reactor is operated by France’s Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission ...

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ‘artificial sun’ reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more than 22 minutes. The WEST reactor, in southern France, is at the ...

The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor. Achieving the dream of commercial fusion power is the ...

In what the company described as a response to “rapid” growth in Texas, advanced reactor company Natura Resources announced the deployment of two advanced nuclear projects in the state.
