The project regenerates the Ignalina NPP site by integrating fusion energy and a high-tech data center, utilizing existing resources - water, infrastructure, and buildings - in a closed resource cycle. The data center’s heat supplies Visaginas with district heating. A new fusion reactor fits within the existing structure, enabling gradual decommissioning. One reactor is preserved as a science hub and historical landmark. Adapted buildings reduce CO₂ emissions, while new ecosystems improve environmental quality.
