About us

Fusion energy is often referred to as the “dream energy” due to its potential to provide a stable power supply without emitting greenhouse gases. Furthermore, its inherent operational principles make runaway reactions impossible, a fundamental aspect of its exceptional safety.

Currently, many research institutions and companies are developing fusion reactors based on the deuterium-tritium (D-T) reaction. However, this approach presents several technical and engineering challenges, including:

• Radioactivation of reactor components due to neutron generation, leading to the production of large volumes of low-level radioactive waste.
• Material embrittlement resulting from neutrons-induced degradation.
• The complex handling of tritium, a radioactive substance requiring specialized management and safety protocols.
• The necessity for tritium fuel breeding, which requires the establishment of sophisticated and reliable breeding blanket technology.

To circumvent these challenges inherent in D-T fusion and to realize a genuinely safer and more sustainable form of fusion energy, LINEA Innovations is committed to developing a fusion reactor utilizing hydrogen and boron (the p-¹¹B reaction). This reaction is notable because it generates no neutrons and does not involve tritium. Consequently, it paves the way for fusion energy that is inherently safer and holds greater potential for widespread public acceptance.

The p-¹¹B reaction, which LINEA Innovations is developing, can fundamentally resolve the challenges associated with tritium and neutrons. This enables the realization of a next-generation energy source that is inherently safer and truly sustainable.

Furthermore, our plasma confinement system, employing FRC (Field-Reversed Configuration) and the Magnetic Mirror technologies, constitutes an “open-ended” system characterized by open magnetic field lines.

Leveraging the distinct advantages of this open-ended configuration allows us to design simpler fusion reactors compared to conventional closed-field systems. This, in turn, facilitates the development of fusion power systems with superior economics and scalability.
