The investment case.
The product, market opening, and commercial sequence behind the relationship.
Longview starts with the commercial plant. Its design draws on the demonstrated NIF ignition architecture, established industrial materials, and a team experienced in large energy infrastructure.
Scientific ignition changes the central question from whether inertial fusion works to how a repeatable target-and-laser system becomes an economic power plant.
