On the morning of February 19, the groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation of HHMAX’s Fusion Device Base was held in Longquanyi District, marking a pivotal milestone in the company’s journey toward engineering-scale fusion technology. Attendees included government officials, HHMAX Chairman Xiang Jiang, employees, industry guests, and partners, all gathering to celebrate this transformative step.
Since its inception, HHMAX has dedicated itself to the research and innovation of linear field-reversed configuration (FRC) fusion technology. Overcoming significant challenges, the company has achieved critical milestones, laying a robust foundation for its transition to practical engineering applications.
In his opening address, Chairman Xiang Jiang highlighted HHMAX’s progress, expressing gratitude for stakeholder support and commending the team’s efforts. He stated, “Since our founding, we have assembled a professional and innovative R&D team, resolving numerous technical hurdles. We have completed conceptual and physical designs of our fusion device, developed system blueprints for vacuum, power supply, magnet, and control systems, and initiated procurement and co-development with supply chain partners. Collaborations with universities and research institutions further strengthen our capabilities.”
“The launch of this renovation project signifies a decisive leap into engineering practice and a new beginning. Moving forward, we will remain focused on advancing controlled fusion technology, ensuring timely progress in construction, completing device assembly, and accelerating the commercialization of our innovations.”
Amid applause, the ribbon-cutting ceremony commenced, with representatives from key partners including the Sichuan Provincial Natural Resources Experimental Testing Research Center, Shanghai Pushu Technology Co., Ltd., Chengdu Guoguang Electric Co., Ltd., and the Southwest Survey and Design Institute of Nuclear Industry, alongside HHMAX leadership, inaugurating the project.
The fluttering ribbons symbolized HHMAX’s official transition from R&D exploration to large-scale engineering implementation.
Upon completion, the renovated HHMAX Fusion Facility Base will accelerate iterative validation of core fusion technologies, paving the way for future demonstration-grade fusion energy systems. Looking ahead, HHMAX vows to uphold its innovative spirit, collaborate with global partners, and drive breakthroughs in fusion energy, injecting new momentum into sustainable energy solutions for humanity.
