Helix KANATA

Helix KANATA is a next-generation helical stellarator fusion pilot plant concept that builds directly on the technologies demonstrated in Helix HARUKA. KANATA is designed as a fully integrated fusion power plant, combining HTS stellarator magnets, a liquid-metal breeding blanket, tritium fuel-cycle systems, heat-extraction loops, and turbine-based balance-of-plant to generate net electricity on a continuous, steady-state basis. The goal of the Helix KANATA device is to serve as a commercial-scale, zero-carbon fusion power plant capable of supplying reliable baseload electricity and high-grade heat for industrial users.

Helical Fusion currently aims to bring the first Helix KANATA plant into operation in the 2030s, following successful achievement of the key performance targets on Helix HARUKA.
