The NK Labs, LLC federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) program is focused on advancing the development of active target technology for muon-catalyzed fusion energy. The $500,000 award, granted on Sep 22, 2023, aims to develop a design with further reduced beam energy per muon to strengthen the case for the feasibility of power production using muon-catalyzed fusion. This 2-year project supports ARPA-E's mission to fund transformative research and development projects that enhance U.S. energy security, reduce emissions, and bolster energy infrastructure resilience. Prior to this award, NK Labs, LLC received a $2.28M ARPA-E cooperative agreement in 2020 for a related project titled "Conditions for High-Yield Muon Catalyzed Fusion".
