Novatron Fusion Group and Oxford Sigma are announcing a strategic partnership on fusion power plant design.
This collaboration combines Novatron’s innovative NOVATRON reactor design with Oxford Sigma’s expertise in fusion materials, component design, and manufacturing, marking a significant step toward achieving sustainable and scalable fusion energy solutions.
The partnership will accelerate Novatron Fusion Group’s development of commercial fusion power stations with the new NOVATRON fusion reactor design, an open-field confinement solution for stable magnetic plasma confinement.
The partnership is part of Novatron Fusion Group’s goal to streamline nuclear engineering, validate key scientific principles, and prepare for the industrialization of fusion energy.
Within the deal, Oxford Sigma provides capabilities in systems engineering, fusion materials development, and fusion reactor core design for power plant configurations as well as access to its fusion materials manufacturing resources.
“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,” said Josefin Sjöbom, Project Leader, Novatron Fusion Group.
Novatron Fusion Group, in turn, will leverage these resources to validate its proprietary confinement solution and complete the conceptual design of its next-generation reactor. This collaboration underscores both organizations’ commitment to achieving scalable and efficient fusion energy.
“Joining forces with Novatron Fusion Group enables us to leverage our fusion materials manufacturing capabilities to their fullest potential. Together, we are committed to overcoming the challenges of fusion commercialisation and delivering clean, reliable energy to the world,” said Dr Alasdair Morrison, CTO, Oxford Sigma.
“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,” said Peter Roos, CEO, Novatron Fusion Group.”
