Using extensive simulations on a Department of Energy supercomputer, Knoxville-based Type One Energy Group has refined the design for a commercial-scale fusion power plant. The company’s concept for an advanced stellarator device was developed with the help of high-performance computing at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). At the core of the design process was a substantial allocation of computing time on ORNL’s Summit supercomputer.
