Fusion power plant based on the stellarator
Renaissance Fusion aims to design, construct, and commercialize a fusion power plant based on the stellarator, HTS and liquid metal technologies, on time to contribute solving the climate crisis caused by carbon emissions.
The company claims that the heat from the fusion reactions is mostly carried by neutrons and captured by plasma-facing liquid metal wall.
Only High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) can generate the high magnetic fields needed to make fusion smaller and cheaper. The benefits are impressive: a 4x increase in magnetic field reduces the plasma volume by 256x, according to Renaissance Fusion.
