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.

Plenary Agenda
The unique partnerships built by CASL brought together a diverse team of talented individuals working in a collaborative environment across the national laboratories, academia and industry. The key to such collaboration is having a shared vision, a line of sight from each individual contributor and technical focus area towards common goals, and excellence in execution. There have been hundreds of contributors to the CASL program during the history of the hub who were brought together under a “one roof” virtual environment with the goal of providing tools and capabilities that have not only high value but high impact with respect to addressing the design and operational challenges of the current, as well as future, nuclear fleet. The CASL Partner’s Panel, representing the CASL core partners, brings together speakers from the DOE laboratories, academia and industry to discuss perspectives on science and applied research, software development and deployment, and impact on nuclear engineering education. In addition, DOE NE will provide a perspective on the transition of CASL and future of modeling and simulation for advanced nuclear energy.
