Editor-in-Chief, The Fusion Report
From the UK to South Korea, countries are racing to regulate fusion energy on its own terms. This global shift is a key enabler of the sector’s path to commercialization. As national policies align with the unique safety and operational characteristics of fusion, the momentum toward market readiness is accelerating worldwide.
Summary As we discussed in a few of our previous articles, fusion energy is not a “poor man’s game”. The amount of money that it will take to fully commercialize fusion energy is likely in the...
Solar is fast, clean, and low-cost, but it’s non-dispatchable and land-hungry. Fusion, though slower to scale, offers compact, continuous power. As energy demand surges, our latest analysis explores why these two technologies are more complementary than competitive.
Fusion energy enjoys a lighter regulatory burden than nuclear fission; no meltdown risk, no long-term waste, and strong NRC support. With new U.S. regulations arriving in 2025, the framework for fusion deployment is coming into focus. We break down what’s changing, what it means for developers, and how this could accelerate commercialization.
At the 2025 Ignition Summit in NYC, top minds in nuclear fission and fusion discussed the urgent need for capital, supply chain investment, and public-private partnerships. Fusion’s momentum is strong, but so is competition with China. Read the key takeaways from CFS, Pacific Fusion, Xcimer, Thea Energy, Avalanche, and more.
In this premium interview, EMC2 Fusion’s Dave Mansfield explains the promise of Polywell reactors, an unconventional, high-beta magnetic cusp fusion design. Compact, stable, and scalable, the Polywell could redefine fusion’s path to commercialization.
With federal fusion funding under pressure, U.S. states are taking the lead. Massachusetts, California, Virginia, and others are creating a new fusion roadmap one policy at a time.
Fusion energy is on the verge of commercialization, but how near is “near”? We examine peer-reviewed results, Q>1 milestones, and market momentum to separate hype from progress.
Marx Generators are crucial to fusion energy, from Z-pinch to MagLIF systems.We broke down how they work, their evolution, and why they’re central to inertial confinement fusion. Discover how next-gen IMGs could transform fusion commercialization.
Fusion energy may seem quiet in Q2, but the industry isn’t stalling—it’s evolving. We examine recent headlines, funding patterns, and what real progress looks like in the current state of the fusion industry.
