A major coal-fired power plant in the United States is slated for a significant transformation, as it is now earmarked to become the site of a pioneering prototype fusion energy facility.

Renewable energy firm Type One Energy plans to establish its stellarator fusion prototype machine, Infinity One, at the Bull Run Fossil Plant in Clinton, Tennessee, operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). 

Stellarators stand out as leading contenders in achieving net positive energy in fusion. Decades of research have demonstrated their performance, characterized by predictable scalability owing to their straightforward operational design and established plasma stability at elevated ion and electron energy levels. 

According to Type Energy One, this inherent predictability mitigates the risk of encountering unforeseen physics complications, thereby bolstering their …
