Portable fusion reactors are advanced power generating modules for Modular armor. They generate 750kW of power, equivalent to 25 Portable solar panels, while taking up only a 4×4 grid in size.

Portable fusion reactors are essential items for Power armor and Power armor MK2, as running the many other modules in these armors would take far too many solar panels to be practical.

While Portable fusion reactors can be assembled by hand, the Processing units for it require automated construction to build, so it cannot be built from raw materials by hand.

Portable fusion reactors are, once researched, an unlimited source of energy and require nothing to power it.

Trivia

The model is a reference to the movie Back to the Future, specifically the "Mr. Fusion" item on the back of the Delorean. The "Mr. Fusion" is itself a riff on "Mr. Coffee," as the prop was a modified coffee maker.
