Tennessee issues commercial fusion license to Type One Energy for Bull Run site
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has issued Type One Energy the first license to operate a commercial fusion machine in the state. The state license is also the first to be issued after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a proposed rule on an augmented byproduct material framework earlier this year. The NRC proposed in February that the framework be expanded “to accommodate the wide variety of anticipated fusion machine designs across the National Materials Program.”
