Jacobs has been awarded a contract to design and engineer maintenance systems for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor fusion project.

Fluor Corporation has signed a memorandum of understanding with Longview Fusion Energy Systems to be its engineering and construction partner in designing and planning laser fusion energy commercialisation.

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission will base its regulatory framework for fusion energy systems on its existing process for licensing the use of byproduct materials.

A Chinese tokamak device has set a new world record for a steady-state high-constraint mode plasma operation and German researchers have discovered a way to build smaller and cheaper fusion reactors. Meanwhile a US Government Accountability Office report on achieving commercial fusion cautions that several challenges must still be overcome.

The UK-based nuclear fusion company Tokamak Energy has released the first images of how its future commercial fusion power plants could look.

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories has signed a memorandum of understanding with Japanese company Kyoto Fusioneering Ltd to partner on the delivery of technical services to support the growing international fusion reactor market, with a key focus on testing related to tritium.

The UK Atomic Energy Authority and the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in research and development for remote handling and the maintenance of future fusion power plants.

A collaboration agreement has been signed between Japan's Kyoto Fusioneering and the UK Atomic Energy Authority to develop fusion related technologies. The first project under the collaboration will be the development of a 'fusion-grade' silicon carbide composite system. 

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have entered a strategic research partnership to better understand the performance and behaviour of materials required for use in future commercial fusion power plants.

The UK Atomic Energy Authority and the University of Sheffield have entered a partnership that is set to drive the development of fusion technology and the UK's future fusion industry. The collaboration will see Sheffield appoint two Chairs who will establish new research programmes to address global fusion challenges.

The UK Atomic Energy Authority has awarded contracts worth a total GBP3.1 million (USD3.8 million) to 18 organisations to focus on overcoming specific technical and physical challenges to make fusion energy a commercial reality.

Holtec International has completed the fabrication and delivery of the Centre Stack Casing for the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory's National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade, a precursor to commercial nuclear power based on nuclear fusion.
