Fuse, a leading U.S.-based fusion company, today announced the establishment of a new state-of-the-art facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico that will expand U.S. radiation effects testing capacity for critical defense, space, and semiconductor technologies. Fuse Federal has acquired several acres of land and will invest tens of millions of dollars to build next-generation radiation testing infrastructure. The facility is expected to create dozens of high-skilled engineering and technical jobs over the coming years and is scheduled to begin serving customers by summer 2026. The Albuquerque site will deliver Radiation-as-a-Service (RaaS), enabling rapid, on-demand testing for U.S. and allied government agencies, defense programs, and commercial companies developing advanced electronics, satellites, and other technologies that must operate in radiation-intense environments. The facility will house advanced radiation sources that replicate extreme radiation and space environments, helping meet the urgent need for expanded testing capacity as next-generation capabilities come online. Fuse is scaling its capabilities to help alleviate critical testing bottlenecks and accelerate deployment timelines.
“Demand for radiation effects testing is growing rapidly as governments and companies deploy increasingly sophisticated defense platforms, satellites, advancement in chips and semiconductors, and critical infrastructure technologies,” said JC Btaiche, Founder and CEO of Fuse. “By expanding to New Mexico, we’re building next-generation testing infrastructure in one of the nation’s most important national security and research hubs. This facility will help relieve testing bottlenecks and accelerate the fielding of critical defense and space systems, as well as advanced electronics, while driving the real-world applications of fusion technology.”
