Yet over past years, fusion start ups, several governments and investors have decided to push fusion R&D and deployment to complement ITER. Major efforts are ongoing notably in the United States, China, Germany, Italy. Most attention has been drawn to the Commonwealth Fusion System, its new technology approach, billions in capital raised, and its ongoing construction of a demonstration fusion machine near Boston and the selection of their first 400MW fusion power plant site in Virginia.
