General Fusion, UKAEA Announce Magnetized Target Fusion Milestone
General Fusion achieved a world-first Magnetized Target Fusion result, reaching electron temperatures above 1 keV (12.6 million degrees Celsius) on its LM26 demonstration machine using low-speed compression. The result was co-published with the UK Atomic Energy Authority and measured via gold-standard Thomson scattering diagnostics, with a technical paper submitted for peer review. LM26 now targets a 10 keV milestone and the Lawson criterion, supporting the company's goal of operating a first-of-a-kind fusion plant around 2035.
