Commonwealth Fusion Makes the Physics Case For Its 400 MW Reactor
Commonwealth Fusion released five peer‑reviewed papers outlining the physics case for ARC, a 400 MW net‑output fusion power plant that would follow its smaller SPARC tokamak. The design relies on high‑temperature superconducting magnets, a molten‑salt heat‑extraction blanket that also breeds tritium, and 15‑minute fusion pulses with one‑minute resets to maintain thermal inertia. ARC is projected to generate about 1.13 GW of fusion power, delivering roughly 400 MW to the grid after accounting for plant loads. The modular architecture allows the vacuum vessel to be replaced every one to two years for rapid upgrades.
