'Iqqv� <br /> Wk ZAP ENERGY <br /> ZRD-SPL-001 <br /> 1.2 Radiation Generating Devices and Their Locations <br /> Zap operates two fusion research devices, known respectively as FUZE and FUZE-Q, that are co- <br /> located in Zap's Everlab in Suite 100 and are similar in design. They are treated as particle <br /> accelerators under the existing regulatory framework. A basic image of one of the devices is <br /> provided in Figure 2 below. <br /> .F <br /> Figure 2.Zap Fusion Device—FuZE-Q at its commission in 2022.The devices are approximately 1.5m in length,for <br /> spatial reference. <br /> Each device includes a sealed, metallic chamber which operates under a vacuum. The orientation <br /> of each device is fixed and not rotated or altered. Pulsed electrical power from nearby capacitor- <br /> based power banks provides the driving force for the fusion reaction. <br /> During operation, fusion fueling gas, e.g., deuterium, is injected into the vacuum chamber, and <br /> becomes ionized with a brief flow of electrical current from the power banks to create a plasma <br /> that is accelerated and ultimately compressed, resulting in fusion reactions within the plasma. <br /> The FuZE device was commissioned in 2015 and is used today for low-energy studies and <br /> engineering proof-of-concepts. The FuZE-Q device was commissioned in 2022 and provides <br /> Zap Energy Inc. Proprietary Information <br /> 2 <br />
