Pacific Fusion predicts “1,000-fold leap” in performance, net facility gain by 2030
Inertial fusion energy (IFE) developer Pacific Fusion, based in Fremont, Calif., announced this morning that it is on target to achieve net facility gain—more fusion energy out than all energy stored in the system—with a demonstration system by 2030, and backs the claim with a technical paper published yesterday on arXiv: “Affordable, manageable, practical, and scalable (AMPS) high-yield and high-gain inertial fusion.”

Session Organizer:
Opened in 2005, the Atomic Museum provides educational and scientific displays and programs to facilitate the public’s understanding of nuclear science and technology. The Museum supports workforce development initiatives to meet the nation’s future clean energy and national security goals. The Atomic Museum is a Smithsonian Affiliate and also designated as a national museum. The presentation will discuss the challenges associated with opening the museum, a new STEM educational exhibit opening in 2024, and the exciting plans to reimagine the museum’s main displays in the coming years. During the Annual Conference, attendees will get half-off Atomic Museum admission when showing their conference badge.
