Novatron Fusion Group and Oxford Sigma are collaborating to advance the design of fusion power plants. This partnership combines Novatron’s NOVATRON reactor design with Oxford Sigma’s expertise in fusion materials and component design and manufacturing. The collaboration aims to accelerate the development of Novatron’s commercial fusion power stations, focusing on stable magnetic plasma confinement through the NOVATRON reactor’s open-field confinement solution.

Oxford Sigma will contribute with systems engineering, fusion materials development, and access to manufacturing resources. As stated in the press release, Josefin Snöbohm, Project Leader at Novatron Fusion Group, emphasized the importance of this partnership for the Swedish company: “Working with Oxford Sigma brings invaluable expertise to the development of the NOVATRON. Their knowledge in fusion materials and reactor design is instrumental in tackling key challenges as we advance our concept towards industrial readiness.”

This collaboration represents yet another step towards making fusion energy a reality. It aims to streamline nuclear engineering, validate scientific principles, and prepare for the industrialization of fusion energy. Peter Roos, CEO of Novatron Fusion Group, said that “[a] partnership with Oxford Sigma will accelerate our development of core technologies for the NOVATRON fusion reactor concept. Fusion power is the holy grail for mankind, supplying clean, safe, and abundant energy to industry and society. This can only be achieved in collaborations, combining advanced knowledge, skills, and perseverance.”
