Call for Expressions of Interest
(Submissions are now closed.)
Pacific Fusion is building a high-yield, pulser-driven inertial fusion facility designed to achieve net facility gain—producing more fusion energy output than total stored energy input—by 2030. It will be the only inertial fusion system of this scale in the world.
Equipped with flexible experimental configurations and 17 diagnostics for fusion target development, the Demonstration System (DS) facility is designed to support Pacific Fusion's work to drive progress across four core areas: Fusion Energy Science, Commercial Applications, Fundamental Science, and National Security (working through the U.S. government).
This Call for Expressions of Interest is a commitment-free phase of our planning process. Our goal is twofold:
- Understand potential users’ interests and their associated technical requirements
- Explore potential collaborations with industry, government, and academic partners on our path to commercial fusion
By participating now, you help define the technical capabilities and diagnostic requirements for the first user experiments later in the decade. This EOI will inform upcoming activities eventually leading to a Call for Proposals.
Submit your Expression of Interest (EOI) through our online submission form.
- Required Information:
Contact information, focus area, high-level objective, and a best-guess at your Resource & Facility Requirements. - Optional Narrative:
The form includes a field to provide a Concept Narrative (1-page maximum). No specific template is required for this.
Resources
Affordable, manageable, practical, and scalable high-yield and high-gain inertial fusion
Shares our path to building a first-of-a-kind inertial fusion system that meets our AMPS criteria — affordable, manageable, practical, and scalable — while achieving record-breaking performance
Validation of FLASH for magnetically driven inertial confinement fusion target design
Details how we developed our simulation tools and validated them against a rigorous set of benchmarks covering the essential phenomena for modeling our approach to fusion at ignition scale.
Opportunities in pulsed magnetic fusion energy
Outlines the architecture underpinning our pulser-driven inertial fusion system — explaining why pulser-driven inertial fusion is the most promising path to commercial fusion energy, with experimentally demonstrated performance comparable to that of laser-driven inertial fusion.
