Rutherford Energy Ventures and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have begun building FULCRA, a public-private consortium that will create shared fusion testbed infrastructure and move critical fusion technology toward commercial readiness.

Rutherford Energy Ventures (REV) has published new research introducing a first-of-its-kind economic framework for evaluating the commercial viability of fusion power plants (FPPs). The paper, Criteria for the Economic Viability of Fusion Power Plants, appears in the peer-reviewed Journal of Fusion Energy and is authored by the REV team, including co-founders Dr. Dennis G. Whyte and Dr. Andrew W. Lo, alongside Dr. Rachel Bielajew, Maria Hancock, Riley Moeykens, and Dr. Guinevere Shaw.

Rutherford Energy Ventures (REV), U.S. Department of Energy, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory launch FULCRA to accelerate fusion commercialization infrastructure.
