Type One Energy, TVA ink LOI in development of fusion power in Tennessee
The Tennessee Valley Authority has issued a letter of intent to fusion energy start-up Type One Energy regarding the utility’s interest in the potential deployment of Type One Energy’s fusion power plant technology at TVA’s former Bull Run fossil plant site once it is commercially ready.

Within the framework of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 Analysis Exercise, the calculation of phases I and 2 of the accident (0 to 174 min) was performed with the computer code CA THARE 1 and with a preliminary version of CATHARE 1/ICARE. The initial transient (0 to 30 min) is accurately predicted by CATHARE. From the thermal-hydraulic point of view, the remainder of phase 1 has also been very well simulated, even though for the overall problem, this particular part of phase 1 did not prove to be nearly as difficult. The analysis of phase 2 is limited because the computer code does not calculate material relocation. Nevertheless, cladding ballooning and cladding oxidation seem to be correctly predicted.
