Tokamak Energy is expanding, with INFUSE projects and increased collaboration with U.S. scientists

Tokamak Energy Inc, launched two years ago as a subsidiary of Tokamak Energy Ltd, participates in DoE's INFUSE program. Five INFUSE projects and our plans will be described. TE designs and builds high-performance prototypes and rapidly innovates while building a team to design and construct commercial fusion pilot plants and subsequent power modules. TE's ST40 compact high field spherical tokamak reached 100MKelvin in early 2022 with support from PPPL and ORNL. The goal of ST40 is to develop the physics basis for the high-field spherical tokamak. TE is developing high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets via prototypes operating at increasingly higher magnetic fields. Our record field so far is over 22 T on the conductor in a test magnet operating at 21K. This field strength is already sufficient for a fusion power plant, and these magnets will be scaled up further over the next few years. TE has built up a patent portfolio of over 55 patent application families, many related to HTS magnets. TE welcomes technical competition from other private fusion ventures, while appreciating the collective and cooperative push toward a commercial fusion culture, and values the prospects of future opportunity to collaborate with national laboratories through programs such as INFUSE.
