On June 5th, Helical Fusion’s Vice CTO Takuya Goto presented the company’s latest reactor development plans at the 25th Coordinated Working Group Meeting (CWGM), hosted by Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) in the United States.
The CWGM is a unique international forum that promotes collaboration among stellarator-heliotron researchers and fosters cross-disciplinary dialogue with tokamak and other magnetic confinement efforts. The meeting emphasizes practical joint actions and experimental cooperation within the Stellarator-Heliotron Technology Collaboration Programme.
Goto’s presentation focused on two critical engineering pillars of Helical Fusion’s design:
High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnets, and
An innovative liquid metal blanket system that also serves as a divertor.
Both technologies are central to achieving a compact, steady-state fusion reactor that is not only technically robust but also commercially viable.
These advances drew strong attention and prompted active technical exchanges with key figures in the international fusion community.
We’re proud to have contributed to such a high-level, solution-oriented dialogue, and we thank the CWGM Organizing Committee—Arturo Alonso (CIEMAT), Benedikt Geiger (UW-Madison), and Dorothea Gradic (IPP)—for creating this important platform.
