Kyoto Fusioneering and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories signed a Memorandum of Understanding to accelerate the development of fusion energy
Through the partnership, Kyoto Fusioneering and CNL plan to collaborate on the development and demonstration of fuel cycle systems essential for the safe and stable operation of fusion energy plants. The two parties plan to share scientific information, equipment, and technologies.
The first project will involve the development of a ‘fusion-grade’ silicon carbide composite system (SiC/SiC), suitable for use as a structural material inside a fusion machine. KF holds expertise in the design, experimentation, and manufacturing of silicon carbide materials. The company possesses know-how in making the raw materials for SiC/SiC and manufacturing of silicon carbide composite components, both in-house and in industrial processes. Examination of irradiated composites can only be done in a suitable active testing facility and KF have looked to UKAEA’s Materials Research Facility (MRF) for support.
Kyoto Fusioneering announced the agreement with United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority to develop fusion related technologies
Kyoto Fusioneering presented a strategic framework on fusion safety and introduced integrated safety engineering services for the fusion market
Kyoto Fusioneering has established a team of safety experts covering a range of safety-related issues, who can draw on past experience working on aspects of both fission and fusion safety, while also possessing a strong understanding of the most advanced fusion power plant concepts. This allows the team to provide integrated safety engineering services throughout the entire life-cycle of a fusion power plant, as illustrated in the figure below.
