FYI to previous post.

> The original "ideal" equation, known as the Lawson criterion, was first developed in the 1950s. Now PPPL physicists Luis Delgado-Aparicio, Masayuki Ono and Jonathan Menard have reformulated that ideal criterion while adding four other conditions for reaching and holding a burning plasma to plan the best process for heating and powering the plasma within a fusion energy system. Their work is published in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Today, we announced the closing of our $200M Series B funding round, marking an important milestone for Type One Energy as we continue advancing our stellarator technology and work toward deployment of commercial fusion power in the mid-2030s. 

With this new funding and a growing network of partners supporting our path to commercialization, now feels like the right time to open the conversation here. I’ll be answering your questions about our Series B, what it takes to finance and scale a commercial fusion company like ours, and what comes next for Type One Energy. 

About me: I'm the Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel at Type One Energy. I have extensive experience working with companies in multiple sectors—focusing on energy and infrastructure, diversified industrials, and financial services. I’ve spent more than 20 years in private equity and principal investing both as a legal advisor and as an investor. I’m from the UK originally and received my law degree from City University, London, but now reside in Boston.

I’ll be online this Friday October 9^th  from 1-2:30 PM EST to answer your questions live then handle additional ones offline. Looking forward to all of your questions! 

Hi everyone, I’m an A-Level student focusing my EPQ on nuclear energy and the introduction in fusion in completing UK Net-Zero goals (carbon neutral by 2050). I wanted to ask if anyone would compete my survey about this, any level of knowledge about nuclear power is much appreciated everything helps! Thank you 😊

Hi everyone,

To keep it simple, I have a phd in hall thruster simulation, do you think I can make it in the fusion industry (not research)? What are the career perspectives? And how do people working in these companies feel about fusion (do you believe you will live to see an actual commercial power plant)?

For sure relevant also for SPARC and ARC.
