German fusion startups are repurposing decommissioned nuclear sites: Focused Energy (@FocusedEnergy_1 ) is developing a laser fusion pilot at Biblis (Hesse) since early 2025, while Proxima Fusion (@proximafusion) plans a stellarator fusion plant (Stellaris) at Gundremmingen (Bavaria). Both leverage existing grid infrastructure to accelerate Europe's fusion development
#Fusion_Development
This is one of the significant strategic moves for #stellarator development, directly leveraging decades of public research from IPP (@PlasmaphysikIPP ) for commercialization.
The commitment from a major utility like RWE (@RWE_AG) and the plan to use a former fission site provide a credible, accelerated path toward a DEMO-class stellarator.

Technology transfer such as the following ITER technology is meaningful and quite important
The Fusion Technology Transfer Award is for Metromecánica! 🏆
F4E @EUROfusion and the @EU_Commission recognise it with 10,000 EUR for taking a metrology robot from ITER to new industries.
💡Together we turn fusion innovation into commercial opportunity.

The International Energy Agency ( @IEA ) recently released the second edition of "The State of Energy Innovation 2026," which explicitly identifies #fusion_energy as one of the two most "dynamic fields" currently driving global energy technology development, dedicating an extensive, in-depth chapter solely to its advancement.

Fusion research produces technologies of immediate value,
and
we must showcase the achievements of such technological development in #fusion_energy more effectively.

EU and China can access the burning plasma in 2027, by using the BEST device, as follows
US @CFS_energy also plans the burning plasma in 2027
Those three countries will get the experience of burning plasma in 2020's

Comprehensive graph!
I will use this graph to explain #fusion_energy to the public
and
I want to add the JT-60SA data in the TOKAMAK line, because LHD is included from Japan.
With their work to track fusion progress around the world, @swurzel and @ScottCHsu are playing a really helpful role in the effort to commercialize this new source of electricity. Their 2022 paper charting that fusion progress provides one of the best records of actual fusion performance among dozens of experiments by labs, universities, and companies. It truly is the scorecard for the plasma physics needed to make a fusion power plant.
And this week, they published a welcome update to that paper. On top of adding a lot of fresh data, it shows an encouraging level of agreement that transparency is important. I published an open letter last year calling on fusion companies to detail their progress on six milestones toward commercial fusion energy (https://t.co/LrNdXtMUYj), and this paper from Scott and Sam can be used to track the first four of those.
Tracking that progress is important to let observers — investors, policymakers, journalists, and the public — get a better handle on what’s real progress and what’s merely hype. Ultimately, that more grounded assessment builds a foundation of trust in the fusion industry. The tables in their work are the ground truth of what people have actually done: peer-reviewed data.
There’s some notable information in the update to the paper. For one thing, it now shows the successful results at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) starting in 2022 that showed net fusion energy, known as Q>1, which means more energy came out of the fusion reaction than went into it. That’s an important scientific achievement — the fourth of my six milestones — and NIF is the only facility to reach it. In fact, they’ve made it to Q>4. Congrats to the @Livermore_Lab for this achievement.
The paper also shows the progress at the Joint European Torus (JET) in the UK, a project that, like Commonwealth Fusion Systems, uses a fusion machine called a tokamak. JET is shut down now, but it produced record levels of fusion energy — 59 megajoules in 2021 and 69 MJ in 2023. You can now see those points just below Q>1, around Q~0.3.
You can also see some more data from some of the companies including @Energy_Zap, @TokamakEnergy, @TAE, and @GeneralFusion, showing how they're improving their performance. Kudos to them for showing their work.
Right now we’re building our own first tokamak, SPARC, and we expect it’ll be the first magnetic confinement machine to show Q>1. That’s because we have published predictions based on the existing science today. The update from Scott and Sam adds a new Fig. 4 that chronicles Q rising year by year, and we hope to see SPARC there in a future update.

National Geographic (@NatGeo) has an excellent skill in covering and reporting ITER, as in the following article
But,
I never thought I'd see the name of Prof. Koshiba again
He was the strongest opponent to ITER in Japan

High temperature #superconductors (#HTS) are featured in the IAEA #fusion_energy outlook 2025
Cryogenic steel for HTS coil is not mentioned
Because of this, I'm still wondering about the role of HTS coil in fusion commercialization

#Fusion_Development
Both of the parallel approach(#SPARC & #ARC) and the staged approach(#ITER) are being challenged now in the #fusion_energy development
I think it’s a massive social experiment!
Which one will realize the fusion electricity first?
Why work on our ARC fusion power plant when we haven't yet switched on our SPARC demonstration machine? It's a fair question. And here's our answer: at CFS, we've deliberately charted a path to fusion energy that lets us work in parallel on multiple projects.
Our new $863 million in Series B2 funding enables us not just to finish SPARC but also to concentrate more attention on ARC. The point of the exercise: spread fusion energy as widely as possible as fast as possible, because we believe humanity will benefit.
Now we're laying out a lot of the detail behind this approach. 🧵1/2

Japan might and shoud invest in @CFS_energy
Japan's stakeholders of #fusion_energy are worldwide
@CFS_energy has been in talks with Japan's government about deploying a Japan-based plant in the late 2030s or early 2040s.

The recent situation of #Fusion_Development reminds me that my remaining life is probably not long enough to fully realize #fusion_energy.
So, I have to decide on my role to utilize myself as much as possible in the development of fusion energy.
#Fusion_Business
I was wrong,
#fusion_investment has not yet attained the maximum in the Gartner hype cycle
This fact is encouraging to #fusion_development
Global investment in fusion energy rises the most since 2022
