Fuse, a U.S.-based fusion company, today announced the establishment of a new facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico that will expand U.S. radiation effects testing capacity for defense, space, and semiconductor technologies.
The facility is expected to create dozens of 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 expects the new facility to come online roughly two years sooner and at a fraction of the cost of comparable government-budgeted testing infrastructure, demonstrating how private-sector investment can help bridge near-term capability gaps while demand for radiation testing continues to increase.
The expansion builds on Fuse's presence across the United States including its headquarters and fusion research and radiation testing operations in San Leandro, California.
