Commonwealth Fusion Systems has grown from a foundation of rigorous fusion science into a company that’ll unlock humanity’s boundless potential.
The company was born from the realization that new magnet technology brings an energy revolution into humanity’s grasp. The key innovation: high-temperature superconductors that can drive the powerful magnets that run our fusion machines.

We have undertaken tritium breeding experiments using 14.1 MeV neutron generators for irradiation of capsules filled with molten salts (ClLiF and FLiBe) at temperatures 600C - 700C. Tritium that is bred in the salt is collected by sweep gas into bubblers and then analyzed with Liquid Scintillation Counting. The collected tritium is compared to measured neutron fluences from the neutron...
Presenting on behalf of the TRIBAL consortium
The TRIBAL – Tritium Breeding to Advance LIBRTI project is a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Eni, the University of California Berkeley, and Xcimer Energy. This project was funded via the LIBRTI feeder stream projects in early 2025 and is unique in developing the FLiBe molten salt breeding blanket....
