First Light Fusion unveils a reactor pathway to a gain of 1,000

First Light Fusion details a reactor-compatible pathway targeting an energy gain of 1,000. The concept, named Fusion via Low-power Assembly and Rapid Excitation (FLARE), separates compression and ignition to maximise efficiency. The company outlines an industrial trajectory relying on available technologies and lower-power facilities. The stated objective is to reduce development and operating costs while reaching the economic thresholds required for electricity production from fusion.
