Kyoto Fusioneering, a privately owned fusion energy startup based in Japan, has formed a joint venture company with Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) to support the development of deuterium-tritium fusion fuel cycle technologies.
The new company, Fusion Fuel Cycles, will focus on engineering and delivering large-scale fuel cycle systems for global fusion development programmes, a statement said.
The development follows a September 2023 alliance between Kyoto Fusioneering and CNL.
The initial project under the latest collaboration is Unity-2, a fuel cycle test facility at CNL’s Chalk River Laboratories, the statement said.
