Fuse Secures Five-Year Research Pact with Nevada National Security Sites

This long-term framework allows Fuse to leverage the unique experimental facilities of the Nevada National Security Sites, managed by Mission Support and Test Services. Initial research initiatives will target the validation of pulsed fusion generators, the advancement of tritium capabilities, and the strengthening of the domestic pulsed power industrial base. By connecting these efforts with existing agreements at Los Alamos and Sandia national laboratories, the company is effectively building a synchronized network across the National Nuclear Security Administration ecosystem.

Daniel Lowe, chief scientist for subcritical experiments at the Nevada sites, noted that the partnership combines Fuse’s specialized pulsed power hardware with the site's technical expertise to explore new approaches to dense plasma focus systems. For Fuse, the collaboration serves a dual purpose: supporting national deterrent missions while accelerating the hardware development necessary for commercial fusion energy. JC Btaiche, founder and CEO of Fuse, stated that merging the agility of the private sector with the depth of national laboratories remains the most efficient path to solving complex technological challenges.
