In transition: Commercializing fusion power
Commercial fusion power is closer than ever. There are now around 30 U.S. fusion companies, several of which claim to be on track to connect to the grid as early as the 2030s.
Tokamak and laser inertial confinement approaches benefit from decades of research at facilities such as the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and ITER, with alternative concepts including stellarator, magnetic mirror, and Z-pinch confinement also making notable progress as private and government funding for fusion increases.
Curtiss-Wright offers a comprehensive range of products and services that sustain the safe and reliable operation of nuclear power plants across the world. Our nuclear legacy dates back to 1957, when the first commercial nuclear power plant in Shippingport, PA began its operations.
Today, more than 65 years later, Curtiss-Wright continues to meet the demands of operating nuclear reactors, while expanding our capabilities to support the next generation of advanced reactor designs. We deliver innovative solutions for Plant Life Extension (PLEX), Extended Power Uprate (EPU) programs, and critical plant obsolescence issues. Curtiss-Wright meets all NQA-1 qualifications and maintains certifications in alignment with industry standards.
