Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Best-credentialed, peer-reviewed, very-high-activity private fusion effort with real hardware milestones (75-ton cryostat installed, first 20T-class HTS magnets in production), but the central claim (net energy) is still a 2027 prediction and assembly is early-stage.
Next
Re-assess after the 2026 first-plasma attempt and again after the 2027 D-T net-energy campaign; the Q>1 demonstration is the load-bearing proof point.
