Commonwealth Fusion Systems Applies To Plug Into Grid In 2030s **[Hackaday](https://daily.dev/sources/hackaday)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), an MIT spinout, has applied to connect a 400MWe fusion power plant to the US grid in the early 2030s — technically less than ten years away. Their ARC reactor, a Tokamak design, is planned for a site in Virginia called the Fall Line Fusion Power Station. The precursor SPARC reactor is still under construction. CFS has raised several billion dollars in venture capital and made notable progress, including building a 20-tesla superconducting magnet. The piece contextualizes this alongside other fusion efforts like ITER and General Fusion, noting that fusion has famously been 'ten years away' for decades. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
