From SPARC to ARC: CFS prepares for a first-of-a-kind fusion plant
Commonwealth Fusion Systems makes no small plans. The company wants to build a 400-MWe magnetic confinement fusion power plant called ARC near Richmond, Va., and begin operating it in the early 2030s. And the plans don’t end there. CFS wants to deploy “thousands” of fusion power plants capable of accelerating a global energy transition.

A magnetic divertor incorporated into a central solenoid of GDT is considered as an alternative MHD stabilizer for axisymmetric high- plasma. The divertor magnetic field structure can be produced by addition of several new coils to the present coil system in the region occupied by a hot-ion population. The important constraints on the divertor magnetic field are discussed. It must naturally fit into the GDT magnetic field and neutral beam geometry, should be adjustable to the plasma and allow for easy recovery of the standard operational regimes.
