Pacific Fusion Breaks Ground on $1B Albuquerque Facility to Challenge China in Energy Race
Pacific Fusion has begun construction on a $1 billion research and manufacturing campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The facility aims to achieve 'net facility energy gain' by 2030 using pulsed-power inertial confinement, a method distinct from traditional laser or magnetic confinement. The project includes a hardware assembly plant in Los Lunas and a formal partnership with the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration to study high-energy-density states relevant to national security.
