Helion Energy, Inc. is an American fusion research company, located in Everett, Washington. [2] They are developing a magneto-inertial fusion technology to produce helium-3 and fusion power via aneutronic fusion , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] which could produce low-cost clean electric energy using a fuel that can be derived exclusively from water.
Helium-3 (3He[1][2] see also helion) is a light, stable isotope of helium with two protons and one neutron. (In contrast, the most common isotope, helium-4, has two protons and two neutrons.) Helium-3 and protium (ordinary hydrogen) are the only stable nuclides with more protons than neutrons. It was discovered in 1939.
The private U.S. nuclear fusion company Helion Energy has signed a deal with Microsoft to provide electricity in about five years, marking the first such agreement for fusion power. Helion's plant, expected to be online by 2028, aims to generate 50 megawatts or more of power. The company plans to use helium-3, a rare gas as a fuel source. [28]
