LM26 is the first MTF demonstration machine to be built at a commercially relevant scale. It mechanically compresses plasma with a lithium liner at 50% commercial-scale diameter.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">LM26 aims to achieve key fusion technical milestones: plasma heating to 1 keV (10 million degrees Celsius), then 10 keV (100 million degrees Celsius), and ultimately the Lawson criterion, the combination of fusion parameters that can produce net fusion energy in the plasma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About General Fusion<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>General Fusion is pursuing a fast and practical approach to commercial fusion energy and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.
