19. How to Develop Production-Level Software for the Fusion Energy Industry in Decentralised Research Environments

Dr Daljeet Singh Gahle (International Atomic Energy Agency)

Oral

As a nuclear technology, fusion energy may be subjected to the stringent regulatory environments such as nuclear (fission) power plants. Software codes and standards need to be developed in acknowledgement of the uncertain regulatory environment, and to meet the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) required to deploy and operate a fusion power plant. Currently, the most mature fusion technologies...

32. Machine Protection System (MPS) development lifecycle

Matej Klun (Cosylab d.d.)

Oral

A Machine Protection System (MPS) is a fundamental component of any fusion facility, serving as the first line of defence for safeguarding essential equipment and ensuring operational integrity under both normal and off-normal conditions. As fusion devices progress toward higher power, increased complexity, and extended operational regimes, the MPS assumes a central role within the overall...

22. Tritium in Fusion Energy: Ensuring Traceable and Responsible Deployment

Koichi Masuda (Liberty Fusion)

Oral

Liberty Fusion is a New Mexico–based startup pursuing Plasma-Jet Magneto-Inertial Fusion (PJMIF), a cost-focused path to commercial fusion energy. Our mission is to achieve sub-$50/MWh electricity through scalable plasma gun–driven systems. In parallel with technical milestones (high-fidelity simulations, prototype plasma gun design, and relocation of the Plasma Liner Experiment from Los...
