We achieved a world-first! LM26 is the first fusion machine in the world to achieve 1 keV with practical low speed compression. This is a major step forward on General Fusion’s commercialization plan to deliver reliable, economical, clean power from fusion energy. It’s truly an exciting moment for our team.  1 keV, which is more than 12 million degrees Celsius, was our first major milestone for the LM26 program. We worked with UKAEA to design, install, and commission a gold-standard Thomson scattering system on LM26, giving us an accurate, robust measurement. We also saw meaningful ion heating, and increased density and magnetic field from the compression – which tells us we’re where we want to be in terms of plasma stability and heating. All together, the combined results provide further confidence in our core MTF technology principles. Our CEO Greg Twinney dives into what we achieved, why it matters and what’s next here: generalfusion.com/post/1-kev…

General Fusion has achieved a world-first compressional plasma heating result with our large-scale Lawson Machine 26 ("LM26") demonstration, a key milestone on our path to commercialize fusion energy! Using Magnetized Target Fusion ("MTF"), LM26 has reached electron temperatures exceeding 12 million degrees Celsius, more than 1 keV, measured with both Thomson scattering and absolute extreme ultraviolet ("AXUV") diagnostics, and accompanied by meaningful ion heating. LM26 is the first fusion machine in the world to achieve 1 keV with practical, low-speed compression. The result marks a major step forward on the Company’s plan to deliver reliable baseload, economical clean power from fusion energy. Support from the Government of Canada has played an important role in advancing our technology over the past 20+ years. We’re grateful for that support as we celebrate this latest milestone and continue to advance fusion energy in Canada. The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, shared her perspective on what this achievement means: “General Fusion's latest achievement underscores Canada's strength as a global leader in clean technology innovation. Advancing fusion energy from the laboratory toward commercial application will unlock significant economic opportunities, drive industrial growth, and support highly skilled jobs. This milestone highlights the value of supporting Canadian champions that are transforming bold ideas into solutions and will ensure Canada can lead and compete in emerging global energy markets.” Read more: generalfusion.com/post/gener…

General Fusion has completed the first major technical milestone of its LM26 program with world-first fusion results co-authored by the UK Atomic Energy Authority. We achieved electron temperatures of 1.1 keV (12.6 million degrees Celsius). The result was measured just prior to peak compression and is detailed in a technical paper co-authored by the @UKAEAofficial that is being concurrently posted on General Fusion’s website and submitted for peer review. Our LM26 program was designed to reach key technical milestones on the path to a first-of-a-kind fusion plant in the next decade. LM26 is the first fusion machine in the world to achieve 1 keV with practical, low-speed compression. “Achieving a plasma electron temperature of over 1 keV marks an important milestone for General Fusion since achieving hot electrons is a necessary step for proving fusion confinement concepts,” said Professor Dennis Whyte, Chief Executive Officer, UKAEA. “This achievement reflects the tangible progress being made by General Fusion and others across a diverse set of fusion approaches in the private sector, while the collaboration with UKAEA, contributing its specialist expertise, highlights the value of robust public-private partnerships in broadly advancing fusion and sharing scientific results. It also continues a great tradition of international scientific collaboration: in 1969, a UK team used the then-new laser-based Thomson scattering technique to verify 1 keV electrons in a Russian tokamak, helping to establish what became the standard magnetic confinement concept. We now look forward to the outcome of the formal peer review process and the publication of the paper in Review of Scientific Instruments.” Only a few fusion companies have surpassed the industry-recognized milestone of 1 keV, all using other fusion approaches. This world-first result for General Fusion’s MTF approach marks a measurable step forward for General Fusion in its aim to deliver baseload, economical clean power from fusion energy.
