Japan launches FAST to build a public fusion demonstrator by 2035

The FAST project enters its engineering phase in Japan, mobilising an industrial consortium led by Starlight Engine and Kyoto Fusioneering to establish a public-private fusion sector based on the deuterium-tritium cycle.

Japan has launched the engineering phase of the FAST project, a technological demonstrator of an integrated fusion power plant, led by Starlight Engine and Kyoto Fusioneering. The programme aims to demonstrate experimental power production by the late 2030s. Designed as a system-level plant rather than a scientific reactor, FAST seeks to validate the entire D-T (deuterium-tritium) energy cycle, including energy production, fuel reprocessing, and tritium recycling.
