Time for a new 6-month update from CEO @BobMumgaard about what we’re up to at Commonwealth Fusion Systems: ️️ ⚡️ See the site in Chesterfield County, Virginia, for our first ARC fusion power plant ️⚡️ Hear how Google has agreed to purchase 200 megawatts of power — half of ARC's output — starting in the early 2030s ️⚡️ See new SPARC tokamak parts due soon, including its vacuum vessel and first magnets ️⚡️ Learn about the supply chain we’re building that helps SPARC and also the broader fusion industry Bob Mumgaard: “When we founded the company, we had a roadmap: Start with magnets, then build a factory to make more magnets for SPARC, build and operate SPARC, go build ARC, build more ARCs. We’re still on that same roadmap, and it’s all coming together." #FusionEnergy #Science

"Everything is about to change in Tokamak Hall." This month, we brought a key component of our prototype fusion machine, SPARC, into its final home inside the SPARC facility in Devens, MA. It's the cryostat base — the foundation of SPARC and a major milestone in its buildout. Along with its job to support SPARC’s mass, the 75-ton base acts as a conduit for fundamental systems like cryogenics and fuel lines that connect to the machine. It's also a vital boundary protecting the magnets inside SPARC from the outside environment so they function at full strength. SPARC’s cryostat is designed to be so well sealed that only a cubic centimeter of gas could leak over 30 years.

We’re setting the pace for the energy transition with SPARC, the machine we’re building now to produce net energy from fusion. Learn more about how we’re doing it in this article from @TheEconomist, which dives into the acceleration of the fusion industry around the world. The full story here: econ.st/4g5xPKp #FusionEnergy
