3/3 Success in milestone 3 means scoring high on a measurement called the triple product that reflects your plasma’s density, temperature, and insulation. Many fusion machines have faltered trying to get there.

2/3 Milestone 3 means building a fusion machine that approaches conditions intense enough for fusion to take place. It’s a lot harder to reach than the first two milestones. Not only must the plasma be hot, but it must stay hot on its own.

6/6 Fusion energy is within our reach. If the US government moves now, the whole country can benefit from this clean, affordable new energy source.

5/6 💡 And $3 billion for a new demonstration phase of the Milestone program for competitively awarded, cost-sharing funds that support two to three commercial demonstration fusion power plants.

4/6 💡 $2.4 billion to fully fund DOE’s existing Milestone program to support companies efforts to complete their engineering designs of their commercial power plants;

3/6 💡 $4 billion to support critical enabling research and infrastructure at DOE National Laboratories, universities, and companies to close technology gaps.

2/6 The result would be a chance to secure the country’s energy future, power economic growth and new industries like AI, and forever change the direction of human development. The FIA is calling on the Trump Administration and Congress to provide:

3/3 This week they published a notable update to that paper with new results. Tracking progress is important for us all to better discern between real progress and hype. We hope to see SPARC on here in a future update.

2/3 Sam and Scott are playing an important role in the effort to commercialize fusion energy. Their 2022 paper charting fusion progress provides one of the best records of actual performance, grounding this work with peer-reviewed data.

The vacuum vessel is the heart of SPARC where our fusion fuel, heated to about 100 million degrees Celsius, will be contained. Now that half of it is at our headquarters in Devens, our team is already getting to work preparing it for the next phase of the build.

Says Mumgaard: “Energy is prosperity, and prosperity is change." 2/2

2/2 Its smooth journey from Italy to our headquarters over the course of a few days required a lot of moving parts — multiple teams, different cranes, one big plane, and two big trucks. This inside look shows the planning and execution behind the whole operation.

The vacuum vessel is the donut-shaped chamber inside SPARC that'll house our fusion fuel — a superhot cloud of charged particles called a plasma. The delivery of this key component means that our energy plans are literally starting to take shape.

As for AI hype, look at Google DeepMind's track record in actually delivering results. Nobel Prizes are pretty hard to come by.
