First Light Fusion

First Light Fusion develops a new architecture for inertial fusion energy called FLARE, which separates compression and ignition to reduce peak power requirements. The company provides fusion power plant designs for the energy sector and generates near-term revenue by applying its high-velocity impact physics and advanced materials technology to the defense, space, and aerospace industries. Its approach utilizes a two-step process involving isentropic hydrogen fuel compression followed by targeted energy input for fast ignition.
