This collaboration is aimed at accelerating the future of clean energy in the industrial manufacturing sector.

Nucor will invest $35 million into Helion Energy as part of the deal. Helion Energy has received over $600 million in funding and commitments for another $1.7 billion to develop commercial nuclear fusion.

A few months ago, Helion Energy signed a deal to provide Microsoft with 50 MWe of fusion power by 2028.

This new plant will need to generate five times the 20 kEV per shot to 100 kEV per shot and double firing rate from 10 shots per second to 20 shots per second.

David Kirtley discusses the science and scaling at Helion Energy.
