The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has issued the nation's first operating license for a commercial stellarator, granted to the company Stellaris Fusion for its SF-1 device in Oak Ridge. The license establishes a state-level framework for the oversight of privately funded fusion machines. This move positions Tennessee as a key jurisdiction for fusion development.
The decision follows a multi-year review process focused on radiological safety protocols, and establishing operational boundaries for the SF-1 device, ahead of its planned commissioning.

Birmingham University and EPRI are collaborating on a £2.63m programme to develop shielding materials for future fusion power plants.
The FURESHMA (Fusion Reactor Shielding Materials) programme is funded by UK Research and Innovations Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and EPRI, with additional participation from Element Six.
FURESHMA aims to test advanced boride and carbide shielding materials, which can protect components inside future fusion power plants from extreme conditions.

Proxima Fusion, a stellarator company based in Munich, and the State of Lower Saxony have signed a memorandum of understanding to build Europe's first large-scale fusion-grade high-temperature superconducting tape facility.
A €140 million investment, running until the end of 2029, will support the initiative of site assessment and planning to create a site for the production of stellarators at scale.
Proxima, a spin out from Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, stated that it is in discussions with many international technology partners about bringing established HTS (High-temperature superconducting) manufacturing expertise and production capabilities to Lower Saxony.
