Overview

ASSESSMENT: Eos Atomics is building NBI for tokamaks, stellarators, mirrors, AND FRCs — including the CFR configuration. $200M+ in LOIs from 'multiple private fusion companies.' NBI explicitly listed for 'field-reversed configurations' — the CFR configuration. 0.5MW FOAK demonstrator, scaling to 10MW annual production. System development Q4 2027, deliveries 2028. 400-700 keV, modular architecture. 'Cut costs >50%, efficiency >2x, footprint >3x reduced.' Proprietary 'ion Beam Window Array' neutralizer technology. CEO Ryan Weed presented at FusionX Invest Munich (February 25, 2026). Customer names NOT publicly disclosed (LOIs not public). Potential FRC customers: Helicity Space (Lockheed Martin Ventures invested), Princeton Fusion Systems (PFRC), TAE Technologies (field-reversed configuration). Fusion Energy Base interview: 'many magnetic-fusion companies — tokamaks, stellarators, mirrors, FRCs, dipole devices — face the same bottleneck: high-performance neutral beam injection.' 'By early-2025, multiple fusion developers told us directly that their path to net-electric power required a radically different plasma heating architecture.' CRITICAL: McGuire's CFR used neutral beam heating (T6+). Eos is building the exact technology the CFR needed. McGuire follows Eos on LinkedIn. If CFR was transitioned to classified status, Eos could be supplying NBI for the classified program — or for open FRC fusion companies parallel-tracking the technology.
