SHINE Fusion

Deploying and scaling near-term applications of #fusion technology that we hope will one day lead to powering the world with fusion #energy.

Gregory Beard, Director of the @DOE_EDF, and U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil visited Chrysalis last week. In April, DOE announced a conditional commitment for a loan of $263 million to help complete the facility.

@GregPiefer, our Founder & CEO, walked them through the space.

This year’s Nuclear Science Week theme is about: Think Clean. Think Solutions. Think Nuclear.

If you’d like to be part of that work, visit our careers page in the comments. You might be surprised how many kinds of jobs there are in nuclear!  #NuclearScienceWeek

It has been a great start to EANM 2026 in Vienna.

Thanks to everyone who’s stopped by Stand 409 so far. If you haven’t made it over yet, come meet our team over a complimentary gourmet coffee and tell us what your Lu-177 program needs.

We’re here through Wednesday.

Spent nuclear fuel recycling and medical isotope production might look like different processes. But under the hood, they’re quite similar. Both start with dissolving uranium. Both involve chemical separation of valuable materials. Both recycle uranium back into the process.

The difference is sequencing.

We'll be at UW-Platteville's Fall Career Fair on September 24, from 9AM to 12PM, in Ullsvik Hall.

We're building toward nuclear fuel recycling and fusion energy, all happening right now, right here in Wisconsin.

Come find us!

A good idea becomes an industry once it's been built, operated and improved enough times to get cheaper and better with each round.

That's part of the conversation our founder and CEO Greg Piefer is joining in New York today.

Congratulations to Argonne National Laboratory on 80 years of nuclear science!

We're proud to partner with them on a wide range of nuclear fuel recycling initiatives.

Our CTO Ross Radel and Senior Buyer John will join the Fusion at Work session at the Great Lakes Fusion Energy Supply Chain Webinar on September 16. They’ll cover current and future supply chain needs and what makes a supplier a strong partner.

We're taking today off, but our fusion sprinkles are working overtime.

We opened our doors to Global 2026 last Friday. 

Attendees toured Chrysalis, our medical isotope production facility under construction, and Building One, where we test and validate materials for aerospace, defense and advanced energy applications.

The U.S. is sitting on a fuel that still holds most of its energy, and the chemistry to recover it is proven. Our collabs through ARPA-E CURIE are building the commercial case for putting it back to work.

This week we're at the American Nuclear Society's Global 2026 conference in Chicago.

Our CTO Ross Radel is on the panel "Perspectives on Recycling," and chairs "Separations for Secondary Material Recovery."

[SHINE Fusion @shinefusion]

The American Nuclear Society's Fuel Cycle & Waste Management Division brings the industry to Chicago from August 16–20.

We're giving a SHINE tour in Janesville for an up-close look at Chrysalis and FLARE.

If you're going to be there, we look forward to seeing you.

Fusion ENERGY gets all the attention. 

Greg Piefer thinks the bigger story is everything we're building on the way there.

What sets us apart isn't only the dream of energy that fusion will produce one day. It's the fusion economy we’re already building today.

This video looks up from the bottom of the plasma window. The first bright flash is ignition, and what follows is stabilization and steady state operation.

Long before SHINE existed, our founder Greg Piefer was a kid in a Wisconsin school library, skipping recess to read about particle accelerators. 

Forward Janesville's "How Did I Get Here?" series traces his path.

We've joined Prometheus, one of the first Phase II awards under the U.S. Department of Energy's Genesis Mission — a $60 million national effort to bring AI to nuclear energy.

We're building a stronger American nuclear future, together with @ENERGY.

We have been selected as a Genesis Mission Awardee by @ENERGY

Our project: an AI tool for designing nuclear fuel recycling processes.  
Our goal: recover more usable material from used fuel. 
Our technical partner: Argonne National Laboratory
