Amentum Signs MOU With Kyoto Fusioneering To Establish Strategic Framework To Advance Fusion Energy In The UK, U.S. And Japan

Under this agreement, Amentum and Kyoto Fusioneering intend to pursue joint opportunities across major public and private fusion programs, integrating Amentum’s established, technology-agnostic fusion engineering capability and expertise in systems engineering, plant integration, nuclear safety, digital engineering and program delivery with KF’s confinement-agnostic fuel cycle, breeding blanket and plasma heating systems and its experience integrating them into fusion plant designs. Together, Amentum and Kyoto Fusioneering will explore opportunities to combine fusion engineering and expertise with advanced digital and AI-driven engineering and program delivery tools. This has the potential to optimize design cycles, improve predictive performance and accelerate the transition from experimental systems towards commercially viable fusion plants.

Japan’s national fusion strategy and its growing investment in support of private-sector demonstration projects create significant new opportunities for this collaboration. Founded in 2019, Kyoto Fusioneering has quickly become one of the world’s leading private fusion engineering enterprises. Combining KF’s technology and position in the Japanese fusion market with Amentum’s international fusion engineering and program delivery capabilities creates a strong platform to pursue opportunities in Japan and other major fusion markets.
