What these terms mean

Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.

Supplier
Supplies components, materials or fuel to the sector without developing a reactor or device of its own.
Supply chain
Components, materials, instrumentation and services sold into fusion or fission programmes.
Fusion
Organizations pursuing energy from nuclear fusion, and their dedicated supply chain.
Deuterium–tritium
Lowest ignition threshold; 80% of energy in 14.1 MeV neutrons. The reference fuel for every near-term net-gain claim.

In Marathon Fusion’s own words

Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.

Since our founding in 2023, Marathon Fusion has developed fuel cycle technologies to deliver fusion energy more quickly with better economics.

Marathon Fusion was founded by Adam Rutkowski, previously a Propulsion Engineer at SpaceX and PhD candidate in Plasma Physics at Princeton University, and Kyle Schiller, previously a Fellow in science policy at Schmidt Futures. We believed then, and now more than ever, that fusion is humanity's best path to abundant, clean and reliable energy.

Marathon Fusion is supported by several awards from the US Department of Energy , as well as the Breakthrough Energy Fellows program, and leading investors including 1517 Fund and Strong Atomics .

Where Marathon Fusion sits

Composed from records in this dataset, not from outside research. Every figure below is counted from what the site holds, so it moves when the data does.

It is one of 103 we hold in US.
