<p>General Fusion and TRIUMF, Canada's particle accelerator center, have entered a scientific and technical collaboration. The partnership aims to develop diagnostics to enhance General Fusion's Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) demonstration, LM26.</p><p>The collaboration will focus on neutron diagnostics and an ion temperature diagnostic for LM26. These diagnostics will provide data to validate LM26's fusion capabilities and assist in determining the size and costs of the commercial-scale machine.</p><p><strong>Analyst QuickTake:</strong> During the same <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/22653">month </a>, General Fusion also partnered with Kyoto Fusioneering, a company specializing in fusion power plant systems, to accelerate the commercialization of its MTF technology. The partnership aims to advance critical systems for MTF commercialization, including the tritium fuel cycle, the liquid metal balance of the plant, and the power conversion cycle.</p>

General Fusion expands partnership with TRIUMF

Canadian fusion energy startup, General Fusion, has entered into a partnership with Kyoto Fusioneering to hasten the commercialization of its Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) technology. The collaboration will focus on improving critical systems for MTF commercialization, such as the tritium fuel cycle, liquid metal balance of plant, and power conversion cycle. General Fusion's power plant design features a liquid metal wall that compresses plasma to create fusion conditions, protects the machine's vessel components, and breeds tritium by interacting with the fusion products. This design allows the machine to be self-sustaining and generate fuel over its lifespan. The company's goal is to integrate its technology into the energy grid by the early to mid-2030s.
