THE DISTINCTION
Most Fusion companies are still
working to provide the science.
We are working to build the power plant.
We make a distinction the industry often blurs. The underlying physics of our
approach has already been demonstrated at the National Ignition Facility. What
remains, as with every energy technology moving toward commercialization, is
engineering execution at scale. We state that plainly. The challenge ahead is not
scientific discovery, but transforming a proven physical result into a reliable,
repeatable, and economically viable source of electricity.
THE RECORD
NIF designed and built. The team now leading Longview delivers the world's largest and most energetic laser system.
Burning plasma achieved. Fusion reactions become the dominant source of heating in the fuel.
Ignition. 3.15 MJ of fusion energy from 2.05 MJ delivered, the first fusion energy gain in history.
Repeated, at higher yield. Ignition was reproduced eleven times.
Record gain. 8.6 MJ from 2.08 MJ on target, a scientific (target) gain of
4.13, the highest on record.
Planned deployment of first Longview power plant.

LONGVIEW FUSIONPOWER PLANT
Fusion energy gain has been demonstrated only at one facility, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Longview was founded by the team that designed, built, and operated NIF, and is now transforming that breakthrough into a commercial fusion power plant design that has been previously reviewed and validated by eight major U.S. utilities.

The Longview Difference
Faster
No breakthroughs necessary.
By leveraging proven, laser-driven fusion technology, conventional construction materials, and key partnerships with leading American semiconductor, optic, material, power and commodity producers, Longview is positioned to scale at speed.
Smaller
Small is huge.
Smaller power plant footprints and fuel inventories make for safer operation and implementation in communities and industrial processes of all types and sizes.
First
It’s not a competition, but it is a race.
Our future depends on a clean, dispatchable, safe and reliable energy source. That’s why Longview is innovating for immediacy - combining proven technology with scalable design to pull the frontier of fusion forward, first.
