3–4%
annual electricity-demand growth after a decade of slow growth

§ I · THE MISSION
The case begins with load, transmission, and siting. Fusion is a candidate answer.
Read the argumentTHE CASE
New electricity demand is concentrating in customer classes that require firm power on the schedule of the host facility. The generation resource matters. So does the path between that resource and the load.
Laurelin is pursuing a concept-stage architecture for firm power that can move through existing logistics infrastructure and sit closer to the demand it serves.

Demand is accelerating after a decade of slow growth. The interconnection system is carrying far more proposed generation than its historical completion record converts into operating capacity.

in the U.S. interconnection queue at the end of 2024
Figures and source chain: Laurelin public whitepaper. The 2,289 GW queue figure is paired there with a historical completion rate of approximately 14%.

THE CONSTRAINT
The public whitepaper selects for firm power sited behind the meter, on the schedule of the host facility, without a new transmission interconnect. Laurelin’s proposal remains a candidate architecture, not a claim of solved physics or a delivery date.
01
Data-center demand is accelerating while the selected deployment shape requires firm power behind the meter, on the host facility’s schedule.
02
Factories and industrial sites require firm, dispatchable energy—not only nameplate capacity when weather permits.
03
Remote industrial sites and defense installations expose the real cost of a long, repeated fuel-resupply tail.

PUBLIC WHITEPAPER · §5.4
The packaging commitment is precise: reactor-core hardware fitting within a forty-foot shipping-container envelope, with balance of plant deployed as adjacent modules. It is not a claim that the entire power plant is sealed inside one box.
THE ARCHITECTURE
Each commitment changes the shape of the machine, its evidence ledger, and its deployment surface. The combination—not any single component—is the architectural claim.
01
Terminal fuel
A harder confinement problem paired with a supply chain outside another sovereign’s strategic inventory.
02
Confinement
A compact, high-β configuration evaluated as a repeatable per-pulse machine.
03
Recovery
Electromagnetic recovery as the primary channel, with thermal capture as a necessary complement.
04
Envelope
Reactor-core hardware inside a forty-foot envelope; balance of plant in adjacent modules.
§ V · THE EVIDENCE STANDARD
Laurelin’s public evidence-maturity position is explicit: concept-stage, with the non-nuclear bench evidence still to be developed. The architecture stands or falls on a public operating record.
E01
Demonstrate high-duty-cycle FRC stability at the repetition rate the deployment economics require.
E02
Build a materials-qualification record against the operating neutron spectrum and service envelope.
E03
Measure protected, repeatable electrical recovery in the pulse’s native time domain—with uncertainty recorded.
