California headquartered fusion system developer Pacific Fusion is building its first Research and Manufacturing Campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The company will maintain its three Research and Development Campuses and headquarters in California.
The new Research and Manufacturing campus in New Mexico will house their demonstration system, designed to achieve net facility gain by 2030. As shared in their recent technical publications:
- The Demonstration System is designed to deliver 100-fold higher facility gain at 10-fold lower cost than the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a 1,000-fold leap in practical fusion performance.
- The Demonstration System also builds on decades of scientific and engineering advances at the Z Facility at Sandia National Laboratories.
Upon finalization, the New Mexico Research and Manufacturing Campus project will bring more than 200 long-term jobs to the state, along with hundreds more construction jobs, workforce development programs, and regional economic activity.
