Technology Assessment & Commercial Milestones

Formed in early 2026 by SASAC to consolidate Chinese fusion R&D — CNNC, China Huaneng, ASIPP and selected private players — under a single state vehicle with ~$2B initial capitalisation. Owns the BEST tokamak under construction in Hefei. Thesis: Treat fusion like high-speed rail: one national champion, vertically integrated, with sovereign capital and 20-year patience. Key engineering bottlenecks: Tritium fuel cycle at industrial scale; Coordination across legacy public institutes. Recent milestones: Jan 2026 — SASAC formally announces the consolidation; 2027 — BEST first plasma target. Device pipeline: BEST (Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak) → CFETR. Timeline: BEST first plasma ~2027; CFETR DEMO 2035+.
