A compact fusion neutron source
-
Compact spherical tokamak designed to deliver reactor-level fast neutron flux.
-
High neutron yield enabling production of a broad range of medical isotopes.
-
Large usable irradiation volume for materials testing and isotope production.
-
Flexible target configurations supporting simultaneous irradiation of multiple isotopes.

-
Overcomes the scaling limits of fission reactors and accelerator-based systems for isotope production.
Neutron production
Fuel Injection
Hydrogen isotopes, typically Deuterium and Tritium, are injected into the vacuum chamber as gas, high energy ions or
high-speed frozen pellets.
Plasma Formation
Powerful magnetic fields and a central solenoid induce a strong electric
current,
ionising the fuel into a hot plasma.
Auxiliary Heating
External systems, such as Neutral Beam Injection or Radio Frequency waves,
further heat
the plasma to over 100 million degrees Celsius.
Magnetic Confinement
The unique spherical shape (low aspect ratio) allows for higher plasma pressure
with
lower magnetic fields, keeping the superheated plasma stable and away from the vessel walls.
Fusion Reaction
High-energy nuclei collide and fuse, overcoming the Coulomb barrier to create
Helium and
high-energy Neutrons (14.1 MeV)
Neutron Escape
Because neutrons have no charge, they are unaffected by the magnetic field and
fly out of
the plasma at high velocities.
Neutron Interaction
The high-energy neutrons penetrate the "blanket" or outer test sections of the
tokamak.
Medical Isotope Production
Neutrons strike stable target materials to trigger controlled transmutation, creating life-saving isotopes for
nuclear medicine diagnostics and therapy.
Materials Testing
Neutrons bombard potential reactor materials and components to study radiation damage and durability for future
fusion power plants, industrial materials and structures.
A healthier more sustainable future
Reliable isotope supply transforms diagnostics and treatment, eliminating delays, reducing costs,
and
expanding access to life-saving care.
A step closer to usable fusion power
Accelerated materials validation unlocks faster fusion deployment, reducing uncertainty, costs and
timelines
for commercial energy.
