In late September 2026, a major breakthrough was made in the commercialization of the New Austrian hydrogen boron fusion: the "Xuanlong-50U" device achieved hydrogen boron fusion reaction. This is the first time that a global commercial fusion company has achieved hydrogen boron fusion reaction on its own equipment, and also the first time that China's magnetic confinement fusion device has achieved clean neutron free fusion reaction by adding advanced fuels (hydrogen boron, deuterium helium 3).

Hydrogen boron fusion has commercial advantages such as no neutrons, abundant and readily available fuel, and low cost. The product is helium (alpha particles), but compared to deuterium tritium fusion, the reaction temperature and triple product requirements are higher, and the reaction conditions are more stringent. The New Austrian Fusion team has significantly increased the non thermal equilibrium fast proton share of the first resonance peak of the hydrogen boron reaction through the synergy of high-energy neutral beam injection and radio frequency waves, achieving a value greater than 10⁸/The second rate of hydrogen boron fusion reaction indicates that the new Austrian hydrogen boron fusion has entered the stage of combustion plasma related experiments, which is a major breakthrough in the development of multi-path fusion energy in China.

Experimental measurement of alpha particle energy spectrum

More than ten authoritative fusion experts from research institutes and well-known universities around the world held a special demonstration meeting on the experimental results. They unanimously agreed that this experiment achieved effective and reproducible measurement of proton energy spectrum and hydrogen boron fusion reaction product alpha particles in a spherical ring device. The detection method is reliable and can support the verification of hydrogen boron fusion reaction. It is a milestone breakthrough in the innovative exploration and practice of spherical ring hydrogen boron fusion, and has important value contributions to the scientific research of magnetic confinement hydrogen boron reaction worldwide.

The research and development of Xinao Fusion is driven by commercialization, with a system layout of five key technologies to solve the core challenges of hydrogen boron fusion: layout of hydrogen boron reaction rate improvement technology, and through theoretical and experimental breakthroughs, achieve "ignitable and high gain" hydrogen boron fusion; Develop high parameter engineering technology to meet the requirements of commercial reactor engineering; Develop advanced ion temperature related technologies to meet the high reaction temperature requirements of hydrogen boron fusion; Develop hydrogen boron fusion product alpha particle direct power generation technology to efficiently convert fusion energy into direct current; Develop fusion artificial intelligence technology, accelerate research and development speed, and achieve intelligent steady-state operation of commercial reactors.

Looking towards the future, Xinao has implemented a "three-step" strategy to commercialize hydrogen boron fusion: the first step is to achieve hydrogen boron fusion reaction by the end of 2026, which has been achieved ahead of schedule; The second step is to light up the first lamp of hydrogen boron fusion by 2030. The next-generation spherical ring device "Helong-2", which undertakes this goal and mission, has already started construction and is expected to be completed by the end of 2027; The third step is to achieve steady-state and high-power power generation before 2035 and enter the demonstration reactor stage.
