SOUTHLAKE, Texas, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Fusion™ Inc. (OTC: AMFN) (“American Fusion™” or the “Company”), a company developing advanced fusion energy technologies, including its Texatron™ Fusion Engine™ platform, today announced that members of its engineering and leadership teams have arrived in the Midland-Odessa region of Texas to accept delivery of the Company’s 5MW Pre-Production Texatron™ Fusion Engine™. Following delivery, the system is expected to be transported to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex where installation, commissioning, and testing activities are planned to commence.
The scheduled delivery follows the completion of final fabrication and modification activities previously disclosed by the Company and represents an important milestone as American Fusion™ prepares for installation, commissioning, and testing activities in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
The 5MW Pre-Production Texatron™ Fusion Engine™ represents the culmination of nine successive prototype generations and years of engineering, design, and refinement of the Company’s proprietary aneutronic fusion technology. Management believes the system will serve as the primary platform for future testing, validation, and development activities as American Fusion™ advances toward commercial deployment of the Texatron™ Fusion Engine™ architecture.
“This is an exciting moment for our team,” said Brent Nelson, Executive Chairman of American Fusion™. “For years, our engineers and scientists have worked to advance the Texatron™ platform through multiple generations of prototypes and design iterations. Today’s delivery process for the 5MW pre-production system marks our transition from prototype development into installation, commissioning, and integrated testing activities. We believe this is an important milestone for the Company and an important step toward the long-term commercialization of our fusion energy platform.”
Dr. John Brandenburg, Chief Technology Officer of American Fusion™, added, “The 5MW pre-production Texatron™ system incorporates years of engineering development and lessons learned from our prior prototype programs. As we move toward commissioning and testing, our focus remains on disciplined scientific validation, independent measurements, and continued advancement of the underlying technology. We look forward to sharing our progress as we move through these important next stages.”
As previously disclosed, the Company currently has on hand sufficient quantities of both Deuterium and Helium-3 to satisfy its currently anticipated testing requirements through the end of 2026. American Fusion continues to advance preparations for testing activities and remains engaged with applicable regulatory authorities regarding the certification and approval processes associated with its planned operations.
The Company has also initiated engineering, design, and production discussions relating to future 10MW and 20MW Texatron™ Fusion Engine™ systems intended to support larger-scale commercial, industrial, and infrastructure-grade energy applications. These future configurations are expected to build upon the technological foundation established through the current 5MW pre-production program.
As the Company progresses through future testing activities, American Fusion™ intends to publicly share video footage of the testing together with an independent third-party report evaluating the results. Management believes transparency, independent validation, and disciplined scientific testing are essential components of the Company’s development strategy as it advances the Texatron™ Fusion Engine™ platform toward commercial deployment.
In parallel with these technical milestones, American Fusion™ continues to expand its intellectual property portfolio, pursue additional patent filings, advance its regulatory initiatives, and prepare for the next stages of testing and commercialization of the Texatron™ Fusion Engine™ platform.
