High-field tokamak fusion, building SPARC and the world's first fusion power plant

NuclearEnergy
What they build

The product

High-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet-based tokamaks. SPARC, under construction at the Devens, MA campus, is designed to be the first machine to demonstrate net-energy fusion (Q>1). ARC, sited in Chesterfield County, Virginia, is the planned 400 MW first-of-a-kind commercial fusion power plant.

Why it matters

The thesis

CFS is the MIT spinout that did the magnet thing the rest of fusion said couldn't be done at scale, and is the only company with a binding power plant site (Virginia) and an at-scale construction campus (Devens). Their Series B2 of $863M (Aug 2025) brings total raised to nearly $3B — the biggest balance sheet in fusion. If SPARC hits Q>1, the path to commercial fusion shortens by a decade.
