DESCRIPTION:Commonwealth Fusion Systems - Accelerating Commercial Fusion E
 nergy\n\n \nSpeakers: Jack Vargas\, Manager Remote Maintenance Cody Denn
 ett\, Director\, Materials and Processing\nAbstract:Commonwealth Fusion Sy
 stems (CFS) was spun out of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center to leve
 rage decades of fusion research and combine it with the innovation and spe
 ed of the private sector. CFS builds fusion devices called tokamaks. Tokam
 aks confine the power of stars in the form of plasma using magnetic fields
 \, creating conditions to produce fusion power. CFS has developed novel ma
 gnet technology that unlocks a pathway to smaller and more efficient fusio
 n devices\, and thus to economical fusion power. In Devens\, Massachusetts
 \, we are currently constructing SPARC\, a demonstration fusion device tha
 t incorporates our magnet technology into a tokamak. SPARC is designed to 
 de-risk many of the power-plant subsystems in addition to its primary miss
 ion of demonstrating net energy gain (Q>1). Simultaneously\, we are advanc
 ing the design of our commercial power plant\, called ARC. The first ARC w
 ill be located in Chesterfield County\, Virginia\, and will produce 400 me
 gawatts of clean\, zero-carbon power. CFS has also established a strategic
  partnership with Google\, who has agreed to purchase half the first plant
 ’s power. CFS expects to start generating power with ARC in the early 20
 30s.\n\nhttps://indico.ess.eu/event/3852/
