FLARE - First Light Fusion Publishes Plausible Path to High Gain, Unlocking Cheap Fusion Energy.

“This is a pivotal moment not just for First Light, but for the future of energy. With the FLARE approach, we’ve laid out the world’s first commercially viable, reactor-compatible pathway to high gain inertial fusion - and it’s grounded in real science, proven technologies, and practical engineering. 

"A pathway to a gain of 1000 puts us well beyond the threshold where fusion becomes economically transformative. Through our approach, we’re opening the door to a new industrial sector - and we want to bring others with us."

"First Light Fusion is adopting a unique approach to fusion energy production. Its target designs combine a number of well-established concepts (pulsed power driven liners, cold fuel assembly, radiation recycling) each of which has been the subject of extensive study within the U.S. national laboratories. What makes the FLARE approach unique is the way in which these elements have been combined.

"In addition, the adaptation of First Light’s proven amplifier technology to cylindrical implosions means that the required fusion conditions can be realised using low voltage pulsed power, which significantly reduces the cost of both the driver and the fusion targets."

Professor Jeremy Chittenden, Co-director of the Centre for Inertial Fusion Studies at Imperial College London.
