YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJoin Alex Creely, Commonwealth Fusion Systems' Director of Tokamak Operations, for a complete tour through our SPARC facility. This is where we're building our SPARC fusion energy device, a key step on the fastest path to fusion energy on the grid. Alex shows our recent progress constructing SPARC and guides us through key sections of the facility:
Each building has essential components for building, testing, and running SPARC. This behind-the-scenes tour is a great look at our hard work to reshape the future of energy.
✔️ Operations Building: Generates data critical to optimize our SPARC tokamak and plan its successor, the ARC fusion power plant that'll generate fusion energy for the electrical grid.
✔️ RF Building: Houses equipment that will use radio frequency waves to heat the plasma inside SPARC. This building also houses the Assembly Hall, where all the SPARC components will arrive.
✔️Tokamak Hall: The home of our SPARC fusion energy device. A life-size illustration of the tokamak is on the wall.
✔️Utility Building: An industrial space to handle fusion heat from SPARC. It also contains the cryogenic system to keep SPARC's magnets cold.
