Summary

NOT Commonwealth Fusion Systems — a SEPARATE company based in Santa Fe, NM. Founded 2017 by Simon Woodruff (CEO) and Peter Turchi (CTO). Spun out from Woodruff Scientific. Technology: Stabilized Liner Compressor (SLC) — pistons compressing a spinning liquid metal liner onto a plasma target. This is a DIRECT COMMERCIAL CONTINUATION of the AFRL Shiva Star / FRCHX liner implosion approach. 3 meter long proof-of-principle Fusion Power Core. Target: 50-500 MWe, <5c/kWh, 25+ year lifetime, commercial availability 2030. Team has AFRL (Kirtland) and NRL SLC device experience. ARPA-E funded — relocated and reusing AFRL equipment. $20,000 seed from Strong Atomics. Partnership with University of Maryland. This is the commercial descendant of FRCHX — contradicts 'classified/withheld' narrative.
