Deep Fission raises $30M in financing
Since the Department of Energy kicked off a 10-company race with its Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program to bring test reactors on line by July 4, 2026, the industry has been waiting for new headlines proclaiming progress. Aalo Atomics broke ahead of the pack first by announcing last week that it had broken ground on its 50-MWe Aalo-X at Idaho National Laboratory.

Recent experimental results of power and particle control in JT-60U with W-shaped pumped divertor are presented. Backflow of carbon impurities towards x point is decreased by the dome as well as by the gas puff from the main plasma. Heat load on divertor plates is reduced by the detached plasma at high density and radiative plasma by neon seeding. Effective helium exhaust is demonstrated for helium-beam-injected plasmas. Results of high-confinement experiments are also shown. Strongly heated ELMy H-mode plasmas are sustained during 9 s without increasing the impurity contamination. High QDTeq ~ 1 is obtained in the low Ip regime of the reversed shear plasmas. Progress in the negative-ion-based neutral beam injection experiments is finally introduced
