Fluor Signs MOU with Longview Fusion Energy Systems to Support Innovative Laser Fusion Power Commercialisation

IRVING, Texas, April 18, 2023 — Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Longview Fusion Energy Systems, Inc. to serve as its engineering, procurement and construction partner for a first-of-kind laser fusion power plant.

At full capacity, Longview's laser fusion power plants (1,000–1,600 MW) are slated to provide carbon-free, safe, economical and sustainable energy that can power the needs of a small city or provide process heat to major industrial facilities.

"Fluor is a leader in designing and building solutions to create a sustainable future and our partnership with Longview Fusion Energy Systems builds upon that experience," said Tom D'Agostino, group president, Mission Solutions, at Fluor. "Fluor's experience in developing complex and innovative technology facilities positions us well to support Longview Fusion Energy Systems as they lead the commercialisation of laser fusion energy."

Under the MOU, Fluor will leverage its global experience in developing and constructing complex, large-scale facilities to provide preliminary design and engineering to support the development of Longview's Market Entry Plant (MEP) for commercial power generation.

"The Longview power plant design is based on the recent breakthrough at the National Ignition Facility showing the world's only experimental demonstration of fusion with energy gain," said Ed Moses, CEO of Longview Fusion Energy Systems. "Working with Fluor, we will deliver a power plant that will play a critical role in meeting the world's growing need for clean energy."

Following Longview's accelerated plans to complete design and engineering, this revolutionary energy source will play a significant role in meeting the world's growing need for clean energy.
