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.

We study flute mode stability of a quadrupole-anchored tandem mirror plasma. The present analysis is based on a Newcomb's Lagrangian density with the assumption of small Larmor radius of the ion in the paraxial approximation. A radial eigenmode equation for flute perturbations is derived without the eikonal approximation in the flux coordinates, where the effects of E×B plasma rotation due to an ambipolar electric field are taken into account. The obtained eigenmode equation is applicable to a mode with arbitrary azimuthal mode number, and can describe interchange modes, E×B rotational modes and also Kelvin -Helmholtz modes driven by the shear effect of E×B plasma rotation.
