In 2022, Kyoto Fusioneering (KF) started development of UNITY intended to demonstrate the thermal cycle for fusion energy demonstration plant. In parallel, KF also plans to build the Unique Integrated Testing Facility 2 (UNITY-2) at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) to support tritium fuel cycle development. This facility will be collaboratively developed by KF and CNL to integrate their respective technologies into a single system. UNITY-2 will demonstrate a sequential operation of key components in fuel cycle by using tritium and will be a platform for the development of fuel cycle systems relevant to commercial fusion devices that have requirements relevant for steady state operation of fusion pilot plants at high fuel injection rates.
