First tokamak component installed in a commercial fusion plant
Briefly

The commercial fusion energy landscape is evolving with an increasing number of startups exploring innovative fusion technologies alongside more traditional designs. Commonwealth Fusion is notable for advancing plans to construct a tokamak, constructing essential cooling systems for superconducting magnets, signaling progress in making fusion viable. Meanwhile, the ongoing development of stellarators by other firms reflects a commitment to validating long-researched concepts in fusion energy. Despite challenges, including ITER’s delays and the inherent complexities of fusion, there’s a sense of momentum in the quest for sustainable fusion power.
A variety of commercial fusion startups are emerging, exploring both innovative and traditional designs for plasma heating and fusion, despite the technology's long-standing challenges.
Commonwealth Fusion's construction of the cooling system for its tokamak indicates progress in fusion technology, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application.
