British Fusion Startup Pursues New Approach
The UK company First Light Fusion has published a plan for a new nuclear fusion concept called FLARE. Itโs a two-step approach to inertial confinement. First, they want to squeeze the fuel slowly with an electrical pulse, then ignite it quickly with a small burst โ for example, a short laser pulse. All this happens in a big pool of liquid lithium that soaks up heat, generates power, and also breeds tritium as a new fuel.
They say the gain (meaning energy from fusion divided by energy delivered to the fuel) could reach a stunning 200 to 1,000. About the timeline, they vaguely say they hope to have a โcommercial demonstration potentially by the mid-thirties.โ First Light Fusion has previously used solid projectiles to shoot at fuel targets and was aiming at commercialisation in the early 2030s.

First Light Fusion has presented what it says is the first commercially viable, reactor-compatible path to 'high gain' fusion, which it says would drastically reduce the cost of what the company says is a limitless clean energy source.
