Nuclear Engineering on the Frontier of Commercial Fusion Energy
Abstract: Helion Energy is a private fusion energy company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Everett, Washington. To date, Helion has built seven fusion generator prototypes and was the first private fusion company to achieve fusion-relevant ion temperatures of 100 million °C (9 keV). Helion has also signed fusion’s first power purchase agreement to deliver 50 MW of electricity to Microsoft Corporation, as well as an agreement to develop a 500 MW fusion power plant at a Nucor steel manufacturing facility. Helion’s approach is based on forming and merging plasmas in a field-reversed configuration (FRC). This talk introduces Helion, provides an overview of the core technology, and highlights exciting ongoing work.
Bio: Michael Hua, Ph.D. is Director of Nuclear Science at Helion Energy, a fusion energy company developing pulsed fusion generators to deliver commercial electricity. He leads a multidisciplinary organization spanning Nuclear…
