our mission:

Accelerating the World’s Transition to Fusion Energy

a viable pathway to commercial fusion with the ability to generate massive revenue through nuclear effects testing along the way.

TITAN FIRING TIME LAPSE

our approach: maglif

In 2018 and then further in 2022, Sandia National Lab demonstrated the feasibility of Magnetized-Liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) for fusion engineering breakeven. What’s holding us back? Repetitivity and cost. That’s why fuse is obsessively focused on engineering efficiency and affordability. MagLIF integrates proven fusion technologies.

Path to power plant

From shot frequency and debris management to steep costs and system complexity – big challenges remain. But we're undeterred. Our tested, iterative approach breaks down tough challenges into solvable objectives – it's how we've delivered two neutron-producing fusion generators and the world's first IMG pulser in less than three years, on time and on a lean budget.

Progress to date

The Quest for commercial fusion energy is a decades-long, capital-intensive mission. We choose time bound objectives to de-risk our path. So far, we've delivered – swiftly, cost-effectively, and consistently. And we're just getting started.

TITAN phase 1 firing

Successfully tested parallel triggering on 6 stages of TITAN.

July 2023
TITAN STAGE 1 TESTING

Successfully tested parallel triggering on one stage of TITAN.

MAY 2023
CNSC license updated for higher neutron yield

License renewed by Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) to produce a much higher neutron yield over 1013/year by the FAETON I generator.

BRICK | 150nH RECORD LOW INDUCTANCE

Building block of TITAN, the brick, tested and reached inductance as low as 150nH. Lower inductance means faster pulse.

FAETON I | 120 kV - 1.2 MA GENERATOR

Built and operated second generator in less than three years, the only dense plasma focus device of its kind built by a private company.

Sept 2022
CNSC license to operate

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) gave us an official license to operate, making us the first private company in Canada to have one.
