A Costing Framework for Fusion Power Plants

The Need for a Standardised Costing Framework for Fusion As fusion concepts move from small-scale lab demonstrations toward integrated pilot plants, a familiar question keeps coming back from developers, funders, and policymakers: are the economics credible? In practice, the answer comes down to whether cost estimates are transparent, comparable across different fusion architectures, and traceable back to the technical assumptions that produced them. This need for economic c

The Role of AI in Fusion Design

Why is fusion so difficult? Although it brings the promise of a clean energy source made from abundant fuel, with no combusion emissions and minimal long-lived radioactive waste, getting fusion on the grid is exceptionally hard. Maintaining a stable plasma at temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees and engineering a machine that can survive the extreme heat and neutron loads pushes the limits of engineering, materials science and manufacturing. However, with this great cha

Turning Fusion Concepts Into Investable Designs at nTtau Digital

The Fusion Transition Fusion energy is beginning to cross the threshold from experiment to engineered reality. Across the sector, teams are pushing toward deployable power plants with full engineering designs, credible cost models, and regulatory pathways. That shift creates a new kind of challenge: the work is no longer just about physics, but about integrating neutronics, thermal management, magnet systems, structural mechanics, and site-level constraints into a design that
