Energy startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems has announced that it will begin construction of the "world's first grid-scale" nuclear fusion power plant near Richmond, Virginia.this week that it was "one step closer" to making fusion energy — fusing atoms together inside a reactor, like the process that powers stars in the night sky — a reality with a multibillion-dollar investment in the facility.
Needless to say, it's a highly ambitious plan — and one that warrants plenty of skepticism, since it would require many future breakthroughs to realize, even with sufficient funding. "In the early 2030s, all eyes will be on the Richmond region... as the birthplace of commercial fusion energy," Mumgaard toldThe company wouldn't be the first to claim to have achieved net fusion energy. In 2022, scientists at the government-funded Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California
Scaling up the concept is proving even more difficult, particularly when it comes to a far more commonly-used reactor type called a tokamak, like CFS, which is a donut-shaped machine that confines super-heated and super-pressurized plasma.
