About

Next Step Fusion (NSF) is a Luxembourg-based software and machine learning (ML) company in the fusion industry that develops tokamak simulation software, control systems, and digital twins. 

NSF applies various ML techniques, such as surrogate models and reinforcement learning, to plasma parameter prediction and control, as well as to building a modern ML-based plasma control system (PCS) for tokamaks. 

A simulation of DIII-D (as well as those of other tokamaks) using NSF’s control-oriented tokamak simulator, called NSFsim, is available on the Fusion Twin Platform, a publicly accessible web service for tokamak simulation and fusion data management. 

At DIII-D

Next Step Fusion collaborates closely with the DIII-D program, integrating a reinforcement learning-based plasma shape and position control module into DIII-D’s PCS. By leveraging DIII-D’s historical dataset, working with the experts on the DIII-D team, and conducting controlled experiments with DIII-D plasmas, Next Step Fusion anticipates significant strides in fusion energy technology.
