Infinity One

Infinity One image
Description

Type One Energy is working with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to develop a stellarator to verify Type One Energy's Fusion Power Plant (FPP) concept. The device is currently planned to be built at the TVA's Bull Run retired coal power plant.

The results of Infinity One will inform Type One Energy's Infinity Two project.
