- The company has received a Texas DSHS Certificate of Registration for Industrial Radiation Machines, allowing research and development activities involving its registered Texatron(TM) Fusion Engine(TM) systems at Texas Tech University.
- The registration provides the principal regulatory authorization supporting the company’s planned engineering, prototype testing, and validation roadmap, under applicable Texas radiation control regulations.
- The certificate covers 12 Texatron(TM) Fusion Engine(TM) research systems, ranging from 500 kW to 1 GW, reflecting the breadth of the company’s planned development platform.
- The milestone follows months of regulatory review and supports the next phase of the company’s technical development program, including calibration, diagnostics and prototype validation.
- American Fusion(TM) Chief Technology Officer Dr. John Brandenburg is scheduled to introduce the Texatron(TM) Fusion Engine(TM) platform at a scientific conference at Fermilab on July 23, providing an opportunity for engagement with researchers and engineers.
American Fusion(TM) (OTC: AMFN), a developer of next-generation fusion energy technologies, has reached another step in its development program after receiving a Certificate of Registration for Industrial Radiation Machines from the Texas Department of State, Health Services, providing regulatory authorization to conduct testing, research and development involving its Texatron(TM) Fusion Engine(TM) systems at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
The announcement, released on July 17, marks the completion of a regulatory review process that began several months earlier and establishes the framework under which the company can proceed with planned engineering, prototype testing and technical validation activities (https://ibn.fm/E1ZNj).
According to American Fusion(TM), the registration authorizes the company to receive, possess, acquire, transfer and use registered industrial radiation machines for research purposes in accordance with the Texas Radiation Control Act, applicable state regulations and the company’s radiation safety program.
The registration remains effective through February 28, 2034, and identifies Chief Technology Officer Dr. John E. Brandenburg as Radiation Safety Officer. The company noted that no other known material permits, licenses or regulatory approvals are required to conduct its planned testing program for the 500KW and 5 MW Texatron(TM) Fusion Engines(TM) at its approved Texas Tech research location.
American Fusion(TM) says the registration provides the regulatory structure supporting testing, research, prototype development, calibration, diagnostic evaluation and engineering validation rather than commercial deployment.
The certificate also covers a broad family of Texatron(TM) Fusion Engine(TM) research systems, authorizing work on twelve configurations ranging from 500 kilowatts to one gigawatt. Those systems include 500 kW, 1 MW, 5 MW, 10 MW, 20 MW, 30 MW, 50 MW, 75 MW, 100 MW, 250 MW, 500 MW and 1 GW research platforms.
Executive Chairman Brent Nelson described the approval as the result of years of engineering preparation, radiation safety planning and regulatory coordination, while Chief Legal Officer Michael G. Smith said the process reflected collaboration across engineering, legal, technical and regulatory teams.
Independent Director Fabrice David added that the company continues to focus on engineering innovation alongside regulatory compliance and scientific discipline as development progresses. “Today’s announcement reflects another important step in the company’s continued development. The combination of engineering innovation, regulatory discipline, and scientific rigor continues to position American Fusion for the next phase of its research and development program,” David said.
The registration supports American Fusion’s(TM) stated strategy of advancing the Texatron(TM) Fusion Engine(TM) through staged engineering work rather than attempting to accelerate directly toward commercialization. Planned activities include equipment calibration, diagnostic measurements, prototype refinement and technical validation under controlled testing conditions.
That incremental approach also aligns with another event on the company’s calendar. On July 23, Dr. Brandenburg is scheduled to introduce the Texatron(TM) Fusion Engine(TM) platform during a scientific conference at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (“Fermilab”) in Batavia, Illinois (https://ibn.fm/34EI7).
According to the company, the presentation will introduce conference participants to its compact pulsed-fusion development platform, underlying confinement concepts, expanding patent portfolio and planned testing activities.
