NovaFusionX is developing small modular fusion reactors using a field-reversed configuration (FRC) approach. By using magnetic compression technology to increase the density and break through the threshold of fusion conditions, the system does not need to rely on ultra-high-power lasers. At the same time, through modular design, it effectively avoids a series of key technical challenges faced by tokamak reactors. Thus (according to the startup) the construction cost and R&D cycle of the nuclear fusion power plant can achieve double significant breakthroughs, and it is expected to enter the commercialization stage earlier in a shorter time.
