🔷 About GC Fusion Design Technologies
Engineering Tritium Systems for the Future of Energy
At GC Fusion Design Technologies, we specialize in tritium fuel cycle engineering, process engineering consulting and high-compliance process design. Based in Romania and founded by Gabriel Chira, a former Process Engineer at the UK Atomic Energy Authority, our mission is to bring deep technical expertise and hands-on operational insight to the most demanding engineering challenges of the energy transition.
We operate at the intersection of fusion research, process safety, and industrial digitalization, supporting projects from design all the way to operations.
🚀 Our Mission
At GC Fusion Design Technologies, our mission is to deliver high-impact engineering consultancy focused on tritium systems, fusion fuel cycle technologies, and complex process solutions in regulated environments.
We support research institutions, energy innovators, and industrial partners in developing safe, efficient, and scalable technologies that power the clean energy transition.
Through a blend of applied research, operational insight, and engineering discipline, we help turn the promise of fusion into practical, real-world systems — one subsystem at a time.
🔭 Our Vision
To become a leading European consultancy in tritium and fusion fuel cycle engineering — shaping the safe, scalable, and sustainable technologies that will power the future.
We envision a future where precision-engineered tritium systems enable the global transition to clean fusion energy. By building deep technical partnerships, advancing applied R&D, and supporting industrial-scale deployment, GC Fusion Design Technologies will contribute to a smarter, safer energy ecosystem — one cycle at a time.
💡 What Sets Us Apart
🎯 Tritium Specialization
Unlike general engineering consultancies, we focus specifically on tritium systems and fuel cycle technologies — a critical and complex niche in the future of clean energy. Our real-world experience with JET (DTE3) and HyDUS makes us uniquely qualified to deliver solutions in this space.
🛠️ Hands-On Experience in Operational Environments
From high-pressure urea plants to fusion gas handling systems, we bring an operations-first mindset. We don’t just design systems — we know how they run, how they fail, and how to make them robust.
🔬 Bridge Between Research and Industry
We translate cutting-edge research into practical, scalable systems. Our work lives in the zone where R&D meets real-world constraints — timelines, budgets, compliance, and human factors.
⚙️ End-to-End Technical Coverage
From FEED studies and HAZOPs to interlock testing, commissioning packs, and tritium inventory management, we offer full-lifecycle support. We speak the language of both process simulation and regulatory compliance.
🤝 Agility + Deep Technical Credibility
As a boutique firm, we move fast, stay close to our clients, and adapt quickly. But we back that agility with deep subject matter expertise, extensive documentation skills, and regulatory fluency.
🔬 Our Core Focus Areas
🔹 Tritium Fuel Cycle Consulting
We provide expert guidance on the design, integration, and optimization of tritium handling systems — from storage and purification to detritiation and inventory management. Our work ensures the safe, efficient flow of hydrogen isotopes across the full fuel cycle.
🔹 Tritium Fuel Cycle Systems Commissioning & Operational Support
We support experimental and pre-commercial tritium fuel cycle programs with deep technical insight into active gas handling systems, effluent gas purification and recovery, and critical safety interlocks. From concept design to hands-on commissioning, we understand the demands of fusion operations.
🔹 Process Engineering & Start-Up Services
We apply advanced process engineering tools to model, simulate, and optimize complex systems. Our services include:
- Front-End Engineering Design (FEED)
- PFDs, P&IDs, HAZOP participation
- Commissioning pack development
- Field support during plant start-up
- Operations Support
