HAZAMA ANDO Becomes An Official Partner In Helical Fusion’s Commercial Fusion Initiative And Signs MoU Toward Construction Of The Fusion Pilot Plant

TOKYO, July 6 (Bernama) -- Helical Fusion Co., Ltd. (“Helical Fusion”), a Japan-based fusion energy startup developing fusion power plants, and HAZAMA ANDO CORPORATION (“HAZAMA ANDO”), a long-established Japanese general contractor, today announced that HAZAMA ANDO has become an Official Partner in the Helix Program, Helical Fusion’s commercial fusion initiative. The two companies have also signed a memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) to collaborate toward the construction of Helix KANATA, Helical Fusion’s Fusion Pilot Plant targeted for the 2030s.

Fusion energy has the potential to shift the foundation of energy from natural resources to advanced technology by reproducing, on Earth, the same principle that powers the stars. It is expected to create a major new industry while providing a long-term solution to global energy challenges. Helical Fusion is advancing the Helical Stellarator approach, a magnetic-confinement fusion concept supported by approximately 70 years of research at national universities and public research institutes. The approach is considered well suited to commercial power plants because it offers a clear pathway to continuous operation, net electricity generation, and maintainability.
