Commonwealth Fusion Systems to Advance Fusion Power with SPARC and ARC Reactors
Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a spin-off from MIT, is developing a smaller tokamak reactor design using high-temperature superconducting magnets. Their demonstration reactor, SPARC, aims to achieve net energy by 2027. Following this, they plan to develop a commercial reactor, ARC, which is intended to produce net electricity, a milestone not yet reached by any fusion reactor.

Commonwealth Fusion Systems is advancing fusion power through a new tokamak reactor design utilizing high-temperature superconducting magnets. The demonstration reactor, SPARC, is projected to achieve net energy production, defined as Q>1, by 2027. Following SPARC, the company plans to develop a commercial reactor called ARC, which aims to produce net electricity, a significant goal in fusion energy development as no fusion reactor has yet accomplished this.
