SUMMARY:First Light Fusion: The world’s leading inertial fusion company
DESCRIPTION:On the 25th of January 2023 in Oxford, UK, the UK Atomic Energy Authority (‘UKAEA’) and First Light Fusion (‘First Light’) have signed an agreement for the design and construction of a new purpose-built facility to house First Light’s Machine 4 at UKAEA’s Culham Campus in Oxfordshire. Like NIF in the US, First Light is pursuing an “inertial confinement” approach to fusion. First Light’s method leverages the same physics proven by NIF but combines it with a unique approach which involves firing a projectile at a fuel pellet to force it to fuse and produce energy. This approach has been validated by UKAEA. Projectile fusion is a new approach to inertial fusion that is simpler, more energy efficient, and has lower physics risk. The key enabler is First Light’s unique new target technology, proven through a world-first result, showing fusion with a projectile for the first time.\nTiming\n18:30: Introduction\n18:35: Presentation by Jonathan Shimwell\n19:25: Q&A\n19:45: Closing\nRegistration\nWe are currently experiencing a technical issue with our registration system via the website.
