Commonwealth Fusion Systems is an American company aiming to build a compact fusion power plant based on the ARC fusion reactor tokamak concept.[1] The company is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was founded as a spin-off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC).[2] It has received more than $75 million in funding from a number of investors including Eni [3] and Breakthrough Energy Ventures.[4] The company will first focus on proving new yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) magnet technology and constructing the smaller demonstration SPARC tokamak, before building a power plant based on the ARC design.[1]
